[PATCH] perf build: Restore {0} initializer since GCC-15

[Leo Yan]

GCC-15 release claims [1]:

 {0} initializer in C or C++ for unions no longer guarantees clearing
 of the whole union (except for static storage duration initialization),
 it just initializes the first union member to zero. If initialization
 of the whole union including padding bits is desirable, use {} (valid
 in C23 or C++) or use -fzero-init-padding-bits=unions option to
 restore old GCC behavior.

This new behaviour might cause stale and unexpected data we defined in
Perf.  Add the -fzero-init-padding-bits=unions option for entirely
zeroing union structures.
