inet_diag: fix kernel-infoleak for UDP sockets

KMSAN reported a kernel-infoleak [1], that can exploited by unpriv users.

After analysis it turned out UDP was not initializing r->idiag_expires. Other users of inet_sk_diag_fill() might make the same mistake in the future, so fix this in inet_sk_diag_fill().
