Subject: [PATCH] EDAC/amd64: Shut up an -Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized
 clang false positive

From: Yazen Ghannam <yazen.ghannam@....com>

Yeah, the code's fine even without this.

What this is fixing is a compiler which is overeager to report false
positives which then get automatically enabled in -Wall builds and when
CONFIG_WERROR is set in allmodconfig builds, the build fails.

It doesn't happen with gcc.

Maybe clang should be more conservative when enabling such warnings
under -Wall as, apparently, this has an impact beyond just noisy output.
