This is an effort to eliminate the uninitialized_var() macro[1].

The use of this macro is the wrong solution because it forces off ANY
analysis by the compiler for a given variable. It even masks "unused
variable" warnings.

Quoted from Linus[2]:

"It's a horrible thing to use, in that it adds extra cruft to the
source code, and then shuts up a compiler warning (even the _reliable_
warnings from gcc)."

The gcc option "-Wmaybe-uninitialized" has been disabled and this change
will not produce any warnnings even with "make W=1".

I'm fine with the patch since "-Wmaybe-uninitialized" has been disabled and
I've also asked Kees for it in private previously.

I still remembered that Kees sent out a treewide patch. Sorry about that
I don't catch up it... But what is wrong with the original patchset?

Thanks,
Gao Xiang

Yes, Kees has remind me of that and I will let him handle it. So you can 
ignore this patch.

Okay, I was just wondering if this part should be send out via EROFS tree
for this cycle. However if there was an automatic generated patch by Kees,
I think perhaps Linus could pick them out directly. But anyway, both ways
are fine with me. ;) Ping me when needed.

Thanks,
Gao Xiang

Either way is okay to me.
