[U-Boot] [PATCH] efi_loader: initialize device path on alloc

Since the backing memory for a new device path can contain stale
data we have to make sure that we zero the buffer.  Otherwise some
code paths that don't set all fields in a structure backed by this
device path might contain unwanted stale data.
