Subject: [PATCH 08/10] dm snapshot: Delete an unnecessary variable
 initialisation in remove_single_exception_chunk()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>

The local variable "b" will be set to an appropriate pointer a bit later.
Thus omit the explicit initialisation at the beginning.
