Make sure that any otherwise uninitialised fields of usvc are zero.

This has been obvserved to cause a problem whereby the port of
fwmark services may end up as a non-zero value which causes
scheduling of a destination server to fail for persisitent services.

As observed by Deon van der Merwe <dvdm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>.
This fix suggested by Julian Anastasov <ja@xxxxxx>.

For good measure also zero udest.

This bug has been present since the netlink interface to IPVS was
introduced in 2.6.28. I think it is relevant for 2.6.33 as well
as -stable.
