[PATCH 4.7 01/69] reiserfs: fix "new_insert_key may be used uninitialized ..."

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2016-09-28 09:06:35
Also in: lkml

4.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jeff Mahoney <redacted>

commit 0a11b9aae49adf1f952427ef1a1d9e793dd6ffb6 upstream.

new_insert_key only makes any sense when it's associated with a
new_insert_ptr, which is initialized to NULL and changed to a
buffer_head when we also initialize new_insert_key.  We can key off of
that to avoid the uninitialized warning.
