[release-branch.go1.5] cmd/compile: fix uninitialized memory in compare of interface value

A comparison of the form l == r where l is an interface and r is
concrete performs a type assertion on l to convert it to r's type.
However, the compiler fails to zero the temporary where the result of
the type assertion is written, so if the type is a pointer type and a
stack scan occurs while in the type assertion, it may see an invalid
pointer on the stack.

Fix this by zeroing the temporary. This is equivalent to the fix for
type switches from c4092ac.

Fixes #12253.
