There is no need to memset() both dvs_grid_info and dvs_stat_grid_info
separately: they are part of the same union. Instead, just zero the
union itself. This additionally avoids a false positive (due to a
gcc optimization bug[1]) when building with the coming FORTIFY_SOURCE
improvements:

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.
