Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the block tree

Hi all,

After merging the block tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64 defconfig
clang-17) failed like this:

io_uring/fdinfo.c:103:22: error: variable 'sqe' is uninitialized when used here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
  103 |                 opcode = READ_ONCE(sqe->opcode);
      |                                    ^~~

   50 |         __READ_ONCE(x);                                                 \
