Subject: linux-next: build warning from Linus' tree

Hi all,

With Linus' tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64 allmodconfig) produced
this warning:

fs/btrfs/delayed-inode.c: In function 'btrfs_batch_insert_items':
fs/btrfs/delayed-inode.c:670:6: warning: 'nitems' may be used uninitialized in this function

Introduced by commit 16cdcec736cd ("btrfs: implement delayed inode items
operation").  I think this is a real bug.  This variable is not
initialised, only incremented and tested.

Cheers,

P.S. Chris, time to get a tree into linux-next?
