In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time field bounds checking for memset(), avoid intentionally writing across neighboring fields.
Use memset_after() so memset() doesn't get confused about writing beyond the destination member that is intended to be the starting point of zeroing through the end of the struct.
Note that the common helper, ieee80211_tx_info_clear_status(), does NOT clear ack_signal, but the open-coded versions do. All three perform checks that the ack_signal position hasn't changed, though.
