Subject: [PATCH] libata: Shut up annoying native_sectors warning

I'm getting this

drivers/ata/libata-core.c: In function ‘ata_hpa_resize’:
drivers/ata/libata-core.c:1397:3: warning: ‘native_sectors’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

for a couple of kernel releases now with gcc (Debian 4.7.2-4) 4.7.2.

And the warning is bogus because ata_read_native_max_address either
returns a sensible max_sectors aka native_sectors through its second
arg pointer or an error value which is properly handled in its caller
ata_hpa_resize().

So shut up gcc already.
