[PATCH] srcu: drop the needless initialization in srcu_gp_start()

From: Lukas Bulwahn
Date: Tue Mar 15 2022 - 04:56:06 EST


Commit 9c7ef4c30f12 ("srcu: Make Tree SRCU able to operate without snp_node
array") initializes the local variable sdp differently depending on the
srcu's state in srcu_gp_start().

Hence, the initialization of sdp with the variable definition is not used
before its second initialization.

Drop the needless initialization in srcu_gp_start() to have clear code.

No functional change. Some changes in the resulting object code due to
various rearrangements by the compiler.
