[PATCH v2 56/63] RDMA/mlx5: Use struct_group() to zero struct mlx5_ib_mr

In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time
field bounds checking for memset(), avoid intentionally writing across
neighboring fields.

Add struct_group() to mark region of struct mlx5_ib_mr that should be
initialized to zero.
