[PATCH] perf daemon: Avoid msan warnings on send_cmd

[PATCH] perf daemon: Avoid msan warnings on send_cmd

[Ian Rogers]

As a full union is always sent, ensure all bytes of the union are
initialized with memset to avoid msan warnings of use of uninitialized
memory.

An example warning from the daemon test:

Uninitialized bytes in __interceptor_write at offset 71 inside [0x7ffd98da6280, 72)
==11602==WARNING: MemorySanitizer: use-of-uninitialized-value
