"func" can't be NULL and it doesn't make sense to check because we've
already derefenced it.

My static checker complains that if "func" is NULL then "clear_filter"
is uninitialized. This seems like it could be true, although it's
possible something subtle is happening that I haven't seen.
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:3844 match_records()
error: uninitialized symbol 'clear_filter'.

It does occur to me that I could initialize it to 1 instead of 0 but my
guess is that zero is intended. Please review this one carefully.

Looks like it broke with f0a3b154bd7 ("ftrace: Clarify code for mod
command"). Yeah, clear_filter = 0 is the correct default.
Thanks!
