Subject: [PATCH 4.9 15/62] kasan: avoid -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

commit e7701557bfdd81ff44cab13a80439319a735d8e2 upstream.

gcc-7 produces this warning:

  mm/kasan/report.c: In function 'kasan_report':
  mm/kasan/report.c:351:3: error: 'info.first_bad_addr' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
     print_shadow_for_address(info->first_bad_addr);
     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  mm/kasan/report.c:360:27: note: 'info.first_bad_addr' was declared here

The code seems fine as we only print info.first_bad_addr when there is a
shadow, and we always initialize it in that case, but this is relatively
hard for gcc to figure out after the latest rework.

Adding an intialization to the most likely value together with the other
struct members shuts up that warning.
