hw/virtio/virtio-balloon: zero-initialize the virtio_balloon_config struct

In virtio_balloon_get_config() we initialize a struct virtio_balloon_config
which we then copy to guest memory. However, the local variable is not
zero initialized. This works OK at the moment because we initialize
all the fields in it; however an upcoming kernel header change will
add some new fields. If we don't zero out the whole struct then we
will start leaking a small amount of the contents of QEMU's stack
to the guest as soon as we update linux-headers/ to a set of headers
that includes the new fields.
