Actually, it should be removed, because get_trigger_ops() is now called
in event_trigger_alloc() in patch 3/4. And trigger_ops isn't actually
used by unreg(), so the trigger_ops local can just be removed. For
that matter, trigger_ops should probably be removed from the
reg()/unreg() callbacks altogether. Will add a separate pach to do
that.

I'm not getting a warning because of -Wno-maybe-ininitialized. I had
to build with W=2 to see the warning.

Also, the testcases aren't crashing because trigger_ops is never used
in unreg().

I'll respin and resend later today.
