Said tasklet will use both jrp->outring and jrp->entinfo array
initialized after IRQ request call in both versions of the code
(before/after this patch). AFAICT, the only case where this patch
would change initialization safety of the original code is if JR was
scheduled somehow while ORSFx is 0 (no jobs done), which I don't think
is possible.
