Subject: [PATCH] - fix compile warning: `found' might be used uninitialized in this function

Hello !

the attached patch should fix the following compile warning:

fs/block_dev.c: In function `bd_claim_by_kobject':
fs/block_dev.c:953: warning: `found' might be used uninitialized in this 
function

i`m an absolutely awful programmer , but feel free to comment, ignore or 
.... merge.

regards
Roland Kletzing
