[PATCH v1] locking/ww_mutex: Prevent read of uninitialized memory
From: Robert Foss
Date: Tue Mar 07 2017 - 11:56:07 EST
abba.result is potentially uninitialized, but read during one
error condition.
On "missed ABBA deadlock" abba.result is read, but not initialized
in all situations.
Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1402035 ("Uninitialized scalar variable")
