rust: miscdevice: use `pin_init::zeroed()` for C type initialization

Replace manual zero-initialization using
`MaybeUninit::zeroed().assume_init()` with `pin_init::zeroed()`.
The `pin_init` helper provides a safer and clearer API for
zero-initializing C structs without requiring an `unsafe` block.
