Subject: [PATCH][dma-next] dmaengine: stm32: remove redundant initialization of hwdesc

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

hwdesc is being initialized to desc->hwdesc but this is never read
as hwdesc is overwritten in a for-loop.  Remove the redundant
initialization and move the declaration of hwdesc into the for-loop.

Cleans up clang warning:
Value stored to 'hwdesc' during its initialization is never read
