Subject: [PATCH 5.3 041/193] perf map: Use zalloc for map_groups

From: John Keeping <john@...anate.com>

commit ab6cd0e5276e24403751e0b3b8ed807738a8571f upstream.

In the next commit we will add new fields to map_groups and we need
these to be null if no value is assigned.  The simplest way to achieve
this is to request zeroed memory from the allocator.
