[PATCH] lib: test_meminit: fix -Wmaybe-uninitialized false positive

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Mon Jun 17 2019 - 09:17:33 EST


The conditional logic is too complicated for the compiler to
fully comprehend:

lib/test_meminit.c: In function 'test_meminit_init':
lib/test_meminit.c:236:5: error: 'buf_copy' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
kfree(buf_copy);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
lib/test_meminit.c:201:14: note: 'buf_copy' was declared here

Simplify it by splitting out the non-rcu section.

Fixes: af734ee6ec85 ("lib: introduce test_meminit module")
