gcc-9 and some other older versions produce a false-positive warning
for zeroing two fields
In file included from include/linux/string.h:369,
from drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/main.c:18:
In function 'fortify_memset_chk',
inlined from 'ath9k_ps_wakeup' at drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/main.c:140:3:
include/linux/fortify-string.h:462:25: error: call to '__write_overflow_field' declared with attribute warning: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror=attribute-warning]
462 | __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Using a struct_group seems to reliably avoid the warning and
not make the code much uglier. The combined memset() should even
save a couple of cpu cycles.
