[Skiboot] [PATCH] sensors: dts: Fix uninitialised data in dts result when reading asynchronously

dts_async_read_temp() must zero its on-stack dts structure, similarly
to dts_sensor_read().

The used uninitialized warning showed up when I tried to compile
skiboot with -O2. Too bad -Os and other static checkers didn't
catch it.

I excitedly thought this might also be the cause of the FIXME:,
but it looks like that predates this bug, and came over from the
P8 implementation. Has it been tested that the trip bits are still
wrong? Maybe we can remove it for p9 now?

Thanks,
Nick
