Subject: [GIT PULL] meminit fix for v5.2-rc6

Hi Linus,

Please pull this fix for what I'm calling "meminit" (the compiler-based
variable-init stuff) for v5.2-rc6. This is a small update to the stack
auto-initialization self-test code to deal with the Clang initialization
pattern. It's been in linux-next for a couple weeks; I had waited a bit
wondering if anything more substantial was going to show up, but nothing
has, so I'm sending this now before it gets too late.

Thanks!

-Kees
