I don't see how it is more secure. I think any valid reason to zero out
variables on the stack for security reasons would need to be a guideline
explained and mandated in the whole kernel ubiquitously and should not
be considered as an opt-in practice. I'm not aware of such a guideline.

The ordering rule I follow is the readability of declarations, which is
better if it's in decreasing line length order.
