net: drop_monitor: fix info leak in NET_DM_ATTR_PAYLOAD

net_dm_packet_report_fill() and net_dm_hw_packet_report_fill() open code
the NET_DM_ATTR_PAYLOAD attribute to avoid zeroing the packet payload
before overwriting it with skb_copy_bits().

skb_put() reserves nla_total_size(payload_len), i.e. the header plus the
NLA_ALIGN() padding, but only payload_len bytes are copied in. When
payload_len is not a multiple of 4 the 1-3 padding bytes are never
initialized and are leaked to user space inside the netlink message.

KMSAN confirms the leak for the software path when the packet payload
length is not 4-byte aligned:

  BUG: KMSAN: kernel-infoleak in _copy_to_iter
   _copy_to_iter
   __skb_datagram_iter
   skb_copy_datagram_iter
   netlink_recvmsg
   sock_recvmsg
   __sys_recvfrom
  Uninit was created at:
   kmem_cache_alloc_node_noprof
   __alloc_skb
   net_dm_packet_work
  Bytes 173-175 of 176 are uninitialized

Use __nla_reserve(), which sets up the attribute header and zeroes the
padding, instead of open coding the attribute construction.
