[PATCH] kernel/events: using uninitialized variable: slots.flexiblefor arm cross-compiling

[Chen Gang]

for arm cross-compiling, in function __reserve_bp_slot:

  slots.flexible may be used without initializing.

    slots.flexible is not initialized when define it.
    it is as a parameter passed to fetch_bp_busy_slots.
    in function fetch_bp_busy_slots:
      if bp->cpu < 0
        slots->flexible will be used for comparing, firstly.
        that will cause issue.


building:
  make EXTRA_CFLAGS=-W ARCH=arm
  ...
  linux/kernel/events/hw_breakpoint.c:300:
    warning: missing initializer
  linux/kernel/events/hw_breakpoint.c:300:
    warning: (near initialization for 'slots.flexible')
  ...
