This is because arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser() only sets *oval
if ret is NUL and GCC doesn't see that it will use it only when
I prefer 0 to "NUL", as ret is an int. I'll reword it. But otherwise
this looks OK.

quoted hunk ↗ jump to hunk
ret is NUL.
Anyway, the non-NUL ret path is an error path that won't suffer from
setting *oval, and as *oval is a local var in futex_atomic_op_inuser()
it will have no impact.
