There's a few other cases that *aren't* the "define the array to zero
and then build the entries from a list" form.

In particular, there's still 3 odd complaints:

drivers/ata/ahci.c:
drivers/ata/ahci.h:393:16: warning: initialized field overwritten [-Woverride-in
it]
  .can_queue  = AHCI_MAX_CMDS - 1,

drivers/block/drbd/drbd_main.c:
drivers/block/drbd/drbd_main.c:3767:22: warning: initialized field overwritten [
-Woverride-init]
   [P_RETRY_WRITE]  = "retry_write",

arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:
./arch/x86/include/asm/page_64_types.h:22:21: warning: initialized field overwri
tten [-Woverride-init]
 #define DEBUG_STKSZ (PAGE_SIZE << DEBUG_STACK_ORDER)

The point of these patches is to make -Woverride-init *useful* - you'll never
spot 3 warnings in a flood of over 9,000 understood-and-ignored warnings.

Get rid of the 9,000 understood-and-ignored warnings, and then things that
probably *should* be looked at can be noticed.
