Mark raid6_calls and other structures containing function pointers with
__designated_init.  Fix implementations in lib/raid6/ to use designated
initializers; this also simplifies those initializers using the default
initialization of fields to 0.

Looks like an excellent idea!
Feel free to forward this upstream on my behalf, or remind me once the first
patch is in -next, and I'll take this one myself - whichever you prefer.

Thanks!  Ideally, I'd like to see the whole series go in through one
tree, which is why I CCed Andrew.  I can easily produce several dozen
more patches like these, but I just included enough examples to motivate
patch 1, and I can send more in any order once that one goes in.
