Subject: [PATCH 5.4 074/122] perf bench: Fix 2 memory sanitizer warnings

From: Ian Rogers <irogers@...gle.com>

commit d2c73501a767514b6c85c7feff9457a165d51057 upstream.

Memory sanitizer warns if a write is performed where the memory being
read for the write is uninitialized. Avoid this warning by initializing
the memory.
