This change as commit 72b3942a173c ("scripts: ftrace - move the
sort-processing in ftrace_init") in -next causes a bunch of warnings at
the beginning of the build when using clang as the host compiler:

$ make -skj"$(nproc)" LLVM=1 distclean allmodconfig init/main.o

Should mcount_sort_thread be zero initialized or is there something else
going on here? I am currently hunting down a bunch of other regressions
so apologies for just the report rather than a patch to fix it.

Cheers,
Nathan
