KMSAN reported an uninit-value access in __inet_bind() when binding
an RDS TCP socket.

The uninitialized memory originates from rds_tcp_conn_alloc(),
which uses kmem_cache_alloc() to allocate the rds_tcp_connection structure.

Specifically, the field 't_client_port_group' is incremented in
rds_tcp_conn_path_connect() without being initialized first:

    if (++tc->t_client_port_group >= port_groups)

Since kmem_cache_alloc() does not zero the memory, this field contains
garbage, leading to the KMSAN report.

Fix this by using kmem_cache_zalloc() to ensure the structure is
zero-initialized upon allocation.
