Subject: [PATCH 0/1] wait: using uninitialized member of wait queue

Hi,

Here is patch which fixes bug in /include/linux/wait.h file.
Member "flags" of "wait_queue_t" struct  is used in several places in
kernel code without beeing initialized. "flags" is used in bitwise
operations. If it contain dummy data then incorrect flags may be 
used later in code.

Thanks,
Best Regards,
Evgeny
