Thank you for catching this. We're often lazy about initializing things 
to NULL or 0 because most of our data structures are allocated with 
kzalloc or similar. I'm not sure why we're not doing this here. If we 
allocated event_waiters with kcalloc, we could also remove the 
initialization of activated. I think that would be the cleaner and safer 
solution.
