Should this be { 0 } ?

We've seen patches trying to switch from { 0 } to {  } but the answer
was that { 0 } is supposed to be used,
http://www.ex-parrot.com/~chris/random/initialise.html

(from https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/fbddb15a-6e46-3f21-23ba-b18f66e3448a@suse.com/ (local))
In the kernel we don't care about portability so much.  Use the = { }
GCC extension.  If the first member of the struct is a pointer then
Sparse will complain about = { 0 }.

I had a patch to make checkpatch.pl complain about = { 0 }; but my
system died and I haven't transfered my postponed messages to the new
system...
