net/bpfilter: Initialize pos in __bpfilter_process_sockopt

Browse Source 
__bpfilter_process_sockopt never initialized the pos variable passed
to the pipe write. This has been mostly harmless in the past as pipes
ignore the offset, but the switch to kernel_write now verified the
position, which can lead to a failure depending on the exact stack
initialization pattern. Initialize the variable to zero to make
rw_verify_area happy.
