GCC with W=2 level of kernel compiler warnings warns about the use of uninitialised variables in a few locations. While these uninitialised variables were not used in reality, this still produced compiler warnings. Address this by assigning the variables to NULL and checking for NULL in places it is not expected, returning -EIO in that case. This provides at least some sanity checking at runtime as the compiler appears unable to do that at compile time.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
