powerpc: Zero fill the return values of rtas argument buffer
The kernel copy of the rtas args struct contains the return value(s) for the specified rtas call. These are copied back to user space with the assumption that every value has been set by the rtas call, which turns out to be not always true. Thus userspace can see random values and think the call failed when in fact it succeeded, but for some reason didn't set one of the return values. This fixes the problem by zeroing out the return value fields of the rtas args struct before processing the rtas call.
