Add a blank line. It's tough know where the line is between where is
between the "one thing per patch" but this is probably within the scope.
Generally if there is a white space cleanup on the same line you are
modifying then you should clean it up. Use the struct_size() macro.
This patch means that we now memset() more memory than before. It's
probably a small slow down. I guess I can't be too happy about a slow
down... Let's just leave it as-is.
