perf_events: Optimize the swcounter hotpath

Browse Source 
The structure init creates a bit memcpy, which shows
up big time in perf annotate output:

          :      ffffffff810a859d <__perf_sw_event>:
     1.68 :      ffffffff810a859d:       55                      push   %rbp

     0.00 :      ffffffff810a85ae:       48 83 ec 60             sub    $0x60,%rsp
     1.52 :      ffffffff810a85b2:       48 8d 7d a0             lea    -0x60(%rbp),%rdi
    85.20 :      ffffffff810a85b6:       f3 ab                   rep stos %eax,%es:(%rdi)

None of the callees depends on the structure being pre-initialized,
so only initialize ->addr. This gets rid of the memcpy overhead.
