Subject: linux-next: build warning after merge of the xfs tree

Hi Dave,

After merging the xfs tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64 allmodconfig)
produced this warning:

fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_aops.c: In function 'xfs_end_io':
fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_aops.c:232: warning: 'error' may be used uninitialized in this function

Introduced by commit 77d7a0c2eeb285c9069e15396703d0cb9690ac50 ("xfs:
Non-blocking inode locking in IO completion").

I can't tell if this is a false positive.  If the first two "if"
statement bodies are skipped, then error is tested uninitialised.  It is
possible that at least one of them has to be executed.
