module-init-tools: fix depmod caused segfault issue

memset is required after malloc in grab_module, or else random segfault
may happen. The fix is from Mark Hatle <mark.hatle@windriver.com>.

# this patch is from Mark Hatle <mark.hatle@windriver.com>, who ran into
# a random segfault using the latest module-init-tools (3.12) and finally
# trace back to depmod.c:grab_module, which appears that the new malloc(...)
# setups up things, but never clears the memory that was just allocated.
