Subject: [PATCH 5/7] VMCI: Delete an unnecessary variable initialisation in
 qp_broker_create()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2018 19:09:10 +0100

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