Subject: [PATCH -tip ] [BUGFIX] perf-top: Fix uninitialized variable

builtin-top.c has an uninitialized valiable.
gcc(version 4.5.1) warns it and results in build failure.

# make
CC builtin-top.o
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
builtin-top.c: In function 'display_thread':
builtin-top.c:518:9: error: 'counter' may be used uninitialized in this function
builtin-top.c:518:9: note: 'counter' was declared here
make: *** [builtin-top.o] Error 1
