[PATCH] iosys-map: Fix undefined behavior in iosys_map_clear()

The current iosys_map_clear() implementation reads the potentially
uninitialized 'is_iomem' boolean field to decide which union member
to clear. This causes undefined behavior when called on uninitialized
structures, as 'is_iomem' may contain garbage values like 0xFF.

UBSAN detects this as:
    UBSAN: invalid-load in include/linux/iosys-map.h:267
    load of value 255 is not a valid value for type '_Bool'

Fix by unconditionally clearing the entire structure with memset(),
eliminating the need to read uninitialized data and ensuring all
fields are set to known good values.

Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/i915/kernel/-/issues/14639
Fixes: 01fd30da0474 ("dma-buf: Add struct dma-buf-map for storing struct dma_buf.vaddr_ptr")
