[PATCH] Silence 'may be used uninitialized' warning in net/key/af_key.c

From: Tony Breeds
Date: Thu Apr 24 2008 - 00:33:33 EST


Currently the kernel warns about:
net/key/af_key.c: In function 'pfkey_spddelete':
net/key/af_key.c:2359: warning: 'pol_ctx' may be used uninitialized in this function

Certainly in the case that CONFIG_SECURITY_NETWORK_XFRM is not set a bogus
value for pol_ctx will be passed arround. Unconditonnaly initialise to NULL,
to avoid this problem.
