[PATCH -tip and 2.6.33-rc8] [BUGFIX] perf probe: Init structprobe_point and set counter correctly

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Thu Feb 18 2010 - 13:10:33 EST


Clear struct probe_point before using it in show_perf_probe_events(),
and set pp->found counter correctly in synthesize_perf_probe_point().
Without this initialization, clear_probe_point() will free random
addresses.
