Bytes 14-15 of 16 are uninitialized
Memory access of size 16 starts at ffff88800cbdb000
When processing the last unaligned element of the scatterlist, it is
supplemented with missing bytes in the amount of pad_len. These bytes
remain uninitialized, which leads to a problem.
Extend last_sg->length by pad_len first, then use sg_zero_buffer() to
zero those pad_len bytes. sg_zero_buffer() uses sg_miter internally,
which correctly handles sg entries spanning multiple pages and padding
that crosses a page boundary.
