Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 143/371] tipc: tipc clang warning

From: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@...csson.com>

[ Upstream commit 737889efe9713a0f20a75fd0de952841d9275e6b ]

When checking the code with clang -Wsometimes-uninitialized we get the
following warning:

if (!tipc_link_is_establishing(l)) {
    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
net/tipc/node.c:847:46: note: uninitialized use occurs here
      tipc_bearer_xmit(n->net, bearer_id, &xmitq, maddr);

net/tipc/node.c:831:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always
true
if (!tipc_link_is_establishing(l)) {
    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
net/tipc/node.c:821:31: note: initialize the variable 'maddr' to silence
this warning
struct tipc_media_addr *maddr;

We fix this by initializing 'maddr' to NULL. For the matter of clarity,
we also test if 'xmitq' is non-empty before we use it and 'maddr'
further down in the  function. It will never happen that 'xmitq' is non-
empty at the same time as 'maddr' is NULL, so this is a sufficient test.

Fixes: 598411d70f85 ("tipc: make resetting of links non-atomic")
