Initialize all of datahead structure in nscd (BZ #16791)

The datahead structure has an unused padding field that remains
uninitialized.  Valgrind prints out a warning for it on querying a
netgroups entry.  This is harmless, but is a potential data leak since
it would result in writing out an uninitialized byte to the cache
file.  Besides, this happens only when there is a cache miss, so we're
not adding computation to any fast path.
