[PATCH] netfilter: ebtables: clean up initialization of buf

From: Colin King
Date: Mon Oct 16 2017 - 06:24:21 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

buf is initialized to buf_start and then set on the next statement
to buf_start + offsets[i]. Clean this up to just initialize buf
to buf_start + offsets[i] to clean up the clang build warning:
"Value stored to 'buf' during its initialization is never read"
