bcachefs: memset bounce buffer portion to 0 after key_sort_fix_overlapping

Zero-initialize part of allocated bounce buffer which wasn't touched by
subsequent bch2_key_sort_fix_overlapping to mitigate later uinit-value
use KMSAN bug[1].

After applying the patch reproducer still triggers stack overflow[2] but
it seems unrelated to the uninit-value use warning. After further
investigation it was found that stack overflow occurs because KMSAN adds
too many function calls[3]. Backtrace of where the stack magic number gets
smashed was added as a reply to syzkaller thread[3].

It was confirmed that task's stack magic number gets smashed after the code
path where KSMAN detects uninit-value use is executed, so it can be assumed
that it doesn't contribute in any way to uninit-value use detection.
