Coccinelle reports a path that the array "data" is never initialized. The path skips the checks in the conditional branches when either of callback functions, read_wave_vgprs and read_wave_sgprs, is not registered. Later, the uninitialized "data" array is read in the while-loop below and passed to put_user(). Fix the path by allocating the array with kcalloc(). The patch is simplier than adding a fall-back branch that explicitly calls memset(data, 0, ...). Also it does not need the multiplication 1024*sizeof(*data) as the size parameter for memset() though there is no risk of integer overflow.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
