[PATCH 2/6] tools/rtla: Fix uninitialized bucket/data->bucket_size warning

From: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira
Date: Tue Feb 06 2024 - 06:06:49 EST


When compiling rtla with clang, I am getting the following warnings:

$ make HOSTCC=clang CC=clang LLVM_IAS=1

[..]

This is a legit warning, but data->bucket_size is always > 0 (see
timerlat_hist_parse_args()), so the if is not necessary.

Remove the unneeded if (data->bucket_size) to avoid the warning.
