Ever since CQ/QAOB support was added, calling qdio_free() straight after
qdio_alloc() results in qdio_release_memory() accessing uninitialized
memory (ie. q->u.out.use_cq and q->u.out.aobs). Followed by a
kmem_cache_free() on the random AOB addresses.
For older kernels that don't have
6e30c549f6ca, the same applies if
qdio_establish() fails in the DEV_STATE_ONLINE check.
While initializing q->u.out.use_cq would be enough to fix this
particular bug, the more future-proof change is to just zero-alloc the
whole struct.
