net-timestamp: fix allocation error in test

Browse Source 
A buffer is incorrectly zeroed to the length of the pointer. If
cfg_payload_len < sizeof(void *) this can overwrites unrelated memory.
The buffer contents are never read, so no need to zero.

Fixes: 8fe2f761ca ("net-timestamp: expand documentation")
