perf script python: Silence -Werror=maybe-uninitialized on gcc 5.3.0

Sounds like a compiler bug, but to silence it, initialize those
variables to NULL.

Noticed on:

Target: x86_64-alpine-linux-musl
Configured with: /home/buildozer/aports/main/gcc/src/gcc-5.3.0/configure
--prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info
--build=x86_64-alpine-linux-musl --host=x86_64-alpine-linux-musl
--target=x86_64-alpine-linux-musl --with-pkgversion='Alpine 5.3.0'
--enable-checking=release --disable-fixed-point --disable-libstdcxx-pch

Thread model: posix
gcc version 5.3.0 (Alpine 5.3.0)
