net: switchdev: add reminder near struct switchdev_notifier_fdb_info

Browse Source 
br_switchdev_fdb_notify() creates an on-stack FDB info variable, and
initializes it member by member. As such, newly added fields which are
not initialized by br_switchdev_fdb_notify() will contain junk bytes
from the stack.

Other uses of struct switchdev_notifier_fdb_info have a struct
initializer which should put zeroes in the uninitialized fields.

Add a reminder above the structure for future developers. Recently
discussed during review.
