Subject: [PATCH] perf/core: Fix a warning in util/trace-event-parse.c

From: <chenggang.qcg@...bao.com>

While I compile the perf in Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga),
I got a warning:

CC util/trace-event-parse.o
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
util/trace-event-parse.c: In function 'parse_proc_kallsyms':
util/trace-event-parse.c:232: warning: 'fmt' may be used uninitialized in this function
make: *** [util/trace-event-parse.o] Error 1

The version of gcc is:  4.1.2

The reason is that the local variable 'fmt' is not initialized before we use it.
It is fixed in this patch.
