[PATCH][next] x86/unwind/orc: remove redundant initialization of pointer mid

From: Colin Ian King
Date: Wed Sep 20 2023 - 07:41:49 EST


The pointer mid is being initialized with a value that is never read,
it is being re-assigned and used inside a for-loop. Remove the
redundant initialization. Cleans up clang scan build warning:

arch/x86/kernel/unwind_orc.c:88:7: warning: Value stored to 'mid'
during its initialization is never read [deadcode.DeadStores]
