firewire: core: fix an information leak

If a device exposes a sparsely populated configuration ROM,
firewire-core's sysfs interface and character device file interface
showed random data in the gaps between config ROM blocks.  Fix this by
zero-initialization of the config ROM reader's scratch buffer.
