[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] scsi: Address spurious clang warning

[John Snow]

Some versions of Clang prior to 6.0 (and some builds of clang after,
such as 6.0.1-2.fc28) fail to recognize { 0 } as a valid initializer
for a struct with subobjects when -Wmissing-braces is enabled.

https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21689 and
https://reviews.llvm.org/rL314499 suggests this should be fixed in 6.0,
but it might not be the case for older versions or downstream versions.

For now, follow the precedent of ebf2a499 and replace the standard { 0 }
with the accepted { } to silence this warning and allow the build to
work under clang 6.0.1-2.fc28, and builds prior to 6.0.

What I am actually less clear on is why this appears to be a problem
only now; since the introduction of { 0 } was in 2.11. It might be
a regression only in the fedora distribution of Clang 6.0.

With apologies to Paolo, who hates these patches.
