nexthop: initialize extack in nh_res_bucket_migrate()

nh_res_bucket_migrate() passes an uninitialized netlink_ext_ack to
call_nexthop_res_bucket_notifiers(). When
nh_notifier_res_bucket_info_init() fails (e.g. the kzalloc returns
-ENOMEM), the error is propagated back before any notifier sets
extack._msg, and the error path formats the stale pointer with
pr_err_ratelimited("%s\n", extack._msg). With CONFIG_INIT_STACK_NONE
this dereferences uninitialized stack memory:

  Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address ...
  KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range [...]
  RIP: 0010:string (lib/vsprintf.c:730)
   vsnprintf (lib/vsprintf.c:2945)

  Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

Zero-initialize extack so _msg is NULL on error paths that never set it.
