    elog: Make sure the elog data structures are initialized in elog_clear.
    
    If elog_clear is called before other elog functions, for instance if it's
    called through an SMI immediately after the system boots, then the elog data
    structures won't have been set up and the system will go off the deep end.
    This change adds a call to elog_init to elog_clear to make sure things things
    are always initialized before we start using them.
    
    Before this change, this command would cause
    the system to lock up if run immediately after boot:
    
    echo 1 > /sys/firmware/gsmi/clear_eventlog
    
    After this change, that results in the log being cleared correctly.
