[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 14/16] dyndbg: prefer declarative init in caller, to memset in callee

[Sasha Levin]

From: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 9c9d0acbe2793315fa6945a19685ad2a51fb281b ]

ddebug_exec_query declares an auto var, and passes it to
ddebug_parse_query, which memsets it before using it.  Drop that
memset, instead initialize the variable in the caller; let the
compiler decide how to do it.
