Add unitialized_var() macro for suppressing gcc warnings
Introduce a macro for suppressing gcc from generating a warning about a
probable uninitialized state of a variable.
Example:
- spinlock_t *ptl;
+ spinlock_t *uninitialized_var(ptl);
Not a happy solution, but those warnings are obnoxious.
- Using the usual pointlessly-set-it-to-zero approach wastes several
bytes of text.
- Using a macro means we can (hopefully) do something else if gcc changes
cause the `x = x' hack to stop working
- Using a macro means that people who are worried about hiding true bugs
can easily turn it off.
