Subject: [PATCH 5.10 027/290] ibmvnic: Fix possibly uninitialized old_num_tx_queues variable warning.

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

From: Michal Suchanek <msuchanek@...e.de>

commit 6881b07fdd24850def1f03761c66042b983ff86e upstream.

GCC 7.5 reports:
../drivers/net/ethernet/ibm/ibmvnic.c: In function 'ibmvnic_reset_init':
../drivers/net/ethernet/ibm/ibmvnic.c:5373:51: warning: 'old_num_tx_queues' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
../drivers/net/ethernet/ibm/ibmvnic.c:5373:6: warning: 'old_num_rx_queues' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

The variable is initialized only if(reset) and used only if(reset &&
something) so this is a false positive. However, there is no reason to
not initialize the variables unconditionally avoiding the warning.

Fixes: 635e442f4a48 ("ibmvnic: merge ibmvnic_reset_init and ibmvnic_init")
