rcu/nocb: Suppress uninitialized false-positive in nocb_gp_wait()
Some compilers complain that wait_gp_seq might be used uninitialized in nocb_gp_wait(). This cannot actually happen because when wait_gp_seq is uninitialized, needwait_gp must be false, which prevents wait_gp_seq from being used. But this analysis is apparently beyond some compilers, so this commit adds a bogus initialization of wait_gp_seq for the sole purpose of suppressing the false-positive warning. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com>
