[PATCH 1/8] perf/x86: shut up false-positive -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning

[Arnd Bergmann]

The intialization function checks for various failure scenarios, but
unfortunately the compiler gets a little confused about the possible
combinations, leading to a false-positive build warning when
-Wmaybe-uninitialized is set:

arch/x86/events/core.c: In function âinit_hw_perf_eventsâ:
arch/x86/events/core.c:264:3: warning: âreg_failâ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
arch/x86/events/core.c:264:3: warning: âval_failâ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
   pr_err(FW_BUG "the BIOS has corrupted hw-PMU resources (MSR %x is %Lx)\n",

We can't actually run into this case, so this shuts up the warning
by initializing the variables to a known-invalid state.

v2: replaced original patch that reordered the code instead of
adding a fake initialization.
