[PATCH 1/4] perf tools: Fix uninitialized memory access to struct perf_sample

[Robert Richter]

Memory in struct perf_sample is not fully initialized during parsing.
Depending on sampling data some parts may left unchanged. Zero out
struct perf_sample first to avoid access to uninitialized memory.
