Member hw_perf_event::reg.reg is set but never used, so remove it.
Defines REG_NONE and REG_OVERFLOW are not referenced anymore.
The initialization to zero takes place in function
perf_event_alloc() where
...
event = kmem_cache_alloc_node(perf_event_cache,
GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO, node);
...
makes sure memory allocated for the event is zero'ed.
This is done in the kernel's common code in kernel/events/core.c
The struct perf_event contains member hw_perf_event as in
struct perf_event {
....
struct hw_perf_event hw;
....
};
This contained sub-structure is also initialized to zero.
No functional change.

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 reStructuredText 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.
