[Drbd-dev] [PATCH 10/17] drbd: Use struct_group() to zero algs

In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time
field bounds checking for memset(), avoid intentionally writing across
neighboring fields.

Add a struct_group() for the algs so that memset() can correctly reason
about the size. "objdump -d" shows no changes to the executable
instructions.
