commit 310aa0a25b338b3100c94880c9a69bec8ce8c3ae upstream.
If we disable the compiler's auto-initialization feature, if
-fplugin-arg-structleak_plugin-byref or -ftrivial-auto-var-init=pattern
are disabled, arch_hw_breakpoint may be used before initialization after:
9a4903dde2c86 ("perf/hw_breakpoint: Split attribute parse and commit")
On our ARM platform, the struct step_ctrl in arch_hw_breakpoint, which
used to be zero-initialized by kzalloc(), may be used in
arch_install_hw_breakpoint() without initialization.
