When we dynamically generate a name for a configuration in get-reg-list
we use strcat() to append to a buffer allocated using malloc() but we
never initialise that buffer. Since malloc() offers no guarantees
regarding the contents of the memory it returns this can lead to us
corrupting, and likely overflowing, the buffer:
vregs: PASS
vregs+pmu: PASS
sve: PASS
sve+pmu: PASS
vregs+pauth_address+pauth_generic: PASS
X�vr+gspauth_addre+spauth_generi+pmu: PASS
Initialise the buffer to an empty string to avoid this.
