kernel/futex.c: In function 'do_futex':
kernel/futex.c:1676:17: warning: 'oldval' may be used uninitialized in this 
function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
   return oldval == cmparg;
                 ^
kernel/futex.c:1651:6: note: 'oldval' was declared here
  int oldval, ret;
      ^

This is because arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser() only sets *oval
if ret is NUL and GCC doesn't see that it will use it only when
ret is NUL.

Anyway, the non-NUL ret path is an error path that won't suffer from
setting *oval, and as *oval is a local var in futex_atomic_op_inuser()
it will have no impact.
