    /proc/net/ip_mr_cache and /proc/net/ip6_mr_cache displays garbage when
    showing unresolved mfc_cache entries.
    
    [root@qemu tests]# cat /proc/net/ip_mr_cache
    Group    Origin   Iif     Pkts    Bytes    Wrong Oifs
    014C00EF 010014AC 1         10    10050        0  2:1    3:1
    024C00EF 010014AC 65535      514        2 -559067475
    
    The first line is correct. It is a resolved cache entry, 10 packets used it...
    The second line represents an unresolved entry, and the columns Pkts(4th),
    Bytes(5th) and Wrong(6th) just show garbage.
    
    In struct mfc_cache, there's an union to store data for resolved and
    unresolved cases. And what ipmr_mfc_seq_show() is printing in these 
    columns for the unresolved entries is some bytes from mfc_cache.mfc_un.res.
    Bad.
    (eg. In our case -559067475 is in fact 0xdead4ead which is the spinlock
    magic from mfc_cache.mfc_un.unres.unresolved.lock.magic).
    
    This patch replaces the garbage data written in these columns for the
    unresolved entries by '0' (zeros) which is more correct.
    This change doesn't break the ABI.
    
    Also, mfc->mfc_un.res.pkt, mfc->mfc_un.res.bytes, mfc->mfc_un.res.wrong_if
    are unsigned long.
    
    It applies on top of net-next-2.6.
    
    The patch for net-2.6 is slightly different because of the NIP6_FMT to
    %pI6 conversion that was made in the seq_printf.
    
    Changelog:
    ==========
    V2:
    * Instead of breaking the ABI by suppressing the columns that have no
      meaning for unresolved entries, fill them with 0 values.
