Subject: [PATCH 14/29] IB/mlx4: Delete an unnecessary variable in
 __mlx4_ib_query_gid()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>

* Call the function "memset" directly in an if branch without using
  an intermediate variable.

* Delete the local variable "clear" which became unnecessary with
  this refactoring.
