hard-interface.c has to do not contain any routing algorithm specific code.

Allocate the hard-interface with kzalloc() and remove any useless and algorithm specific member initialisation

For whoever is concerned about this missing initialisations, I have to say that those are done in the routing specific API function upon hard-interface activation. Meaning that the seqno and the ogm_buff are initialised somewhere else before being used.

However, using kzalloc, ensure that all the members are initialised to 0 after allocation.
