Subject: [PATCH 5.2 030/144] coresight: Fix DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON for uninitialized attribute

From: Suzuki K Poulose <suzuki.poulose@....com>

commit 5511c0c309db4c526a6e9f8b2b8a1483771574bc upstream.

While running the linux-next with CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKS_ALLOC enabled,
I get the following splat.

 BUG: key ffffcb5636929298 has not been registered!

Fix this by initialising the dynamically allocated attribute properly.
