[PATCH 1/2] hw-breakpoints: Zeroe the breakpoint attrs on initialization

[Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>]

The perf attrs used to set up breakpoint parameters are often allocated
in the stack and not zeroed out before calling hw_breakpoint_init().
Handle it from this helper to avoid random attributes set by the stack.
