In net/nfc/llcp/sock.c the struct has a hole after ->sa_family so
the memset() isn't optional.

These ->getname() patches were from manually auditing all the
->getname() functions.  I've tried to follow the local style in my
patches.  Quite a few of these use __packed structs to avoid holes
and the need for the memset().
