Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

As recommended[2] by[3] Linus[4], remove the macro.

Most of the 300 uses don't cause any warnings on gcc 9.3.0, so they're in
a single treewide commit in this series. A few others needed to actually
get cleaned up, and I broke those out into individual patches.
