parisc: use initializer for struct vm_unmapped_area_info
Future changes will need to add a new member to struct vm_unmapped_area_info. This would cause trouble for any call site that doesn't initialize the struct. Currently every caller sets each member manually, so if new members are added they will be uninitialized and the core code parsing the struct will see garbage in the new member. It could be possible to initialize the new member manually to 0 at each call site. This and a couple other options were discussed, and a working consensus (see links) was that in general the best way to accomplish this would be via static initialization with designated member initiators. Having some struct vm_unmapped_area_info instances not zero initialized will put those sites at risk of feeding garbage into vm_unmapped_area() if the convention is to zero initialize the struct and any new member addition misses a call site that initializes each member manually. It could be possible to leave the code mostly untouched, and just change the line: struct vm_unmapped_area_info info to: struct vm_unmapped_area_info info = {}; However, that would leave cleanup for the members that are manually set to zero, as it would no longer be required. So to be reduce the chance of bugs via uninitialized members, instead simply continue the process to initialize the struct this way tree wide. This will zero any unspecified members. Move the member initializers to the struct declaration when they are known at that time. Leave the members out that were manually initialized to zero, as this would be redundant for designated initializers.
