The kernel test robot reported that on hexagon with clang, several test
functions in fat_test.c exceed the 1280-byte stack frame limit.

The root cause is the compound literal assignment in
fat_test_set_time_offset():

  *sbi = (struct msdos_sb_info){};

struct msdos_sb_info contains two hash tables of 256 hlist_head entries
(FAT_HASH_SIZE), making it several kilobytes. The compound literal
creates a temporary on the stack, and when clang inlines
fat_test_set_time_offset() into each test function, the large temporary
inflates every caller's stack frame beyond the limit.

Replace the compound literal with memset() which zeroes the struct
in-place without a stack temporary.
