[PATCH 6/8] perf: optimize __perf_sw_event()

[Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>]

From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Ingo noticed that the C99 initialisation of the structure resulted in
a memset() and an assignment. Use explicit assignments to avoid the
memset.

perf_prepare_sample() initializes all data entries, except:
  addr, period and raw.

period is set in perf_swevent_overflow, addr is set here, leaving only
raw to be dealt with, so clear that explicitly as well.
