In the case where sig is NULL the error variable ret is not initialized
and may contain a garbage value on the final checks to see if ret is
-ERESTARTSYS.  Best to initialize ret to zero before the do loop to
ensure the ret does not accidentially contain -ERESTARTSYS before the
loop.

Oops, weird it didn't complain. I've folded in this fix, as that commit
isn't upstream yet. Thanks!

There is a bug in GCC where at certain optimization levels, instead of
complaining, it initializes it to zero.
