Subject: [PATCH 2/2] tools: Add -Wno-missing-field-initializers to for clang

Since clang's -Wmissing-field-initializers warns valid syntax of
initializing data structure (e.g. initializing static data
structure with single NULL, the rest of fields are initialized
with zero), it is better to disable this warning option
for clang for now.
This can stop building perf because -Werror is also specified.

Note that same issue on gcc has been fixed in 4.7.0, so we don't need
this for gcc.
