[PATCH, v2] Fix potentially derefencing uninitialized 'r'.

From: Geunsik Lim
Date: Tue Feb 21 2012 - 03:58:37 EST


From: Geunsik Lim <geunsik.lim@xxxxxxxxxxx>

v2: reorganize the code with better way to avoid compilation warning
via the comment of Andrew Morton.

v1: struct memblock_region 'r' will not be initialized potentially
because of while() condition in __next_mem_pfn_range()function.
Solve the compilation warning related problem by initializing
r data structure.
