My guess is that it was done to mirror the zeroing done by the original
kzalloc(). But, I think you're right that it's zero'd already by virtue
of being static:

static
DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED_USER_MAPPED(struct debug_store,
cpu_debug_store);

I'll queue a cleanup, or update it if I re-post the set.
