[RFC PATCH] coccinelle: misc: add uninitialized_var.cocci script

[Denis Efremov]

Commit 63a0895d960a ("compiler: Remove uninitialized_var() macro") and
commit 4b19bec97c88 ("docs: deprecated.rst: Add uninitialized_var()")
removed uninitialized_var() and deprecated it.

The purpose of this script is to prevent new occurrences of open-coded
variants of uninitialized_var().
