treewide: use initializer for struct vm_unmapped_area_info
Future changes will need to add a new member to struct vm_unmapped_area_info. This would cause trouble for any call site that doesn't initialize the struct. Currently every caller sets each member manually, so if new ones are added they will be uninitialized and the core code parsing the struct will see garbage in the new member. It could be possible to initialize the new member manually to 0 at each call site. This and a couple other options were discussed. Having some struct vm_unmapped_area_info instances not zero initialized will put those sites at risk of feeding garbage into vm_unmapped_area(), if the convention is to zero initialize the struct and any new field addition missed a call site that initializes each field manually. So it is useful to do things similar across the kernel. The consensus (see links) was that in general the best way to accomplish taking into account both code cleanliness and minimizing the chance of introducing bugs, was to do C99 static initialization. As in: struct vm_unmapped_area_info info = {}; With this method of initialization, the whole struct will be zero initialized, and any statements setting fields to zero will be unneeded. The change should not leave cleanup at the call sides. While iterating though the possible solutions a few archs kindly acked other variations that still zero initialized the struct. These sites have been modified in previous changes using the pattern acked by the respective arch. So to be reduce the chance of bugs via uninitialized fields, perform a tree wide change using the consensus for the best general way to do this change. Use C99 static initializing to zero the struct and remove and statements that simply set members to zero.
