Subject: [PATCH 02/10] perf evsel: Fix uninitialized memory access to struct perf_sample

From: Robert Richter <robert.richter@....com>

Memory in struct perf_sample is not fully initialized during parsing.
Depending on sampling data some parts may left unchanged. Zero out
struct perf_sample first to avoid access to uninitialized memory.
