btrfs: zlib: zero-initialize zlib workspace

KMSAN reports uses of uninitialized memory in zlib's longest_match()
called on memory originating from zlib_alloc_workspace().
This issue is known by zlib maintainers and is claimed to be harmless,
but to be on the safe side we'd better initialize the memory.
