[PATCH] inet: Avoid unitialized variable warning in inet_unhash()

From: Geert Uytterhoeven
Date: Thu Feb 01 2018 - 05:26:32 EST


With gcc-4.1.2:

net/ipv4/inet_hashtables.c: In function âinet_unhashâ:
net/ipv4/inet_hashtables.c:628: warning: âilbâ may be used uninitialized in this function

While this is a false positive, it can easily be avoided by using the
pointer itself as the canary variable.
