[PATCH 5.2 70/94] Tools: hv: kvp: eliminate may be used uninitialized warning

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

[ Upstream commit 89eb4d8d25722a0a0194cf7fa47ba602e32a6da7 ]

When building hv_kvp_daemon GCC-8.3 complains:

hv_kvp_daemon.c: In function âkvp_get_ip_info.constpropâ:
hv_kvp_daemon.c:812:30: warning: âip_bufferâ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
  struct hv_kvp_ipaddr_value *ip_buffer;

this seems to be a false positive: we only use ip_buffer when
op == KVP_OP_GET_IP_INFO and it is only unset when op == KVP_OP_ENUMERATE.

Silence the warning by initializing ip_buffer to NULL.
