Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Fix warning: 'calltime.tv64' may be used uninitialized in this function in init/main.c

Using:

	gcc (GCC) 4.5.0 20100610 (prerelease)

The following warning appears:

	init/main.c: In function ‘do_one_initcall’:
	init/main.c:730:10: warning: ‘calltime.tv64’ may be used uninitialized in this function

This warning is actually correct, as the global initcall_debug
could arguably be changed by the initcall.

Correct this warning by extracting a new function,
do_one_initcall_debug, that performs the initcall for the debug
case.
