In vmci_transport_packet_init memset the vmci_transport_packet before
populating the fields to avoid any uninitialised data being left in the
structure.
Usually I would suggest inserting a Fixes tag, but if you didn't put it,
there's probably a reason :-)
If we are going to add it, I think it should be:

Tweaked from original version by rewording the text and adding a blank
line and correctly sending it to the proper people for inclusion in net.

Should we also remove some `case`s in the following switch?
