Subject: [PATCH] drivers/perf: xgene_pmu: Fix uninitialized resource struct

This splat was reported on newer Fedora kernels booting on certain
X-gene based machines:

 xgene-pmu APMC0D83:00: X-Gene PMU version 3
 Unable to handle kernel read from unreadable memory at virtual \
 address 0000000000004006

This was due to use of an uninitialized local resource struct in the xgene
pmu driver. A pointer to that struct gets to __devm_ioremap_resource()
where the name field is passed to devm_kasprintf() and dereferenced. The
struct was never initialized, so the name pointer is whatever happened to
be underlying it on the stack. This has been the case since the original
checkin of xgene_pmu.c, but there was a recent change to use the name field
in __devm_ioremap_resource() which revealed the problem.
