Subject: [PATCH 3.12 02/84] reiserfs: fix "new_insert_key may be used uninitialized ..."

From: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@...e.com>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 0a11b9aae49adf1f952427ef1a1d9e793dd6ffb6 upstream.

new_insert_key only makes any sense when it's associated with a
new_insert_ptr, which is initialized to NULL and changed to a
buffer_head when we also initialize new_insert_key.  We can key off of
that to avoid the uninitialized warning.
