[PATCH] locking/mutex: initialize osq lock in __MUTEX_INITIALIZER()

Since __MUTEX_INITIALIZER() is used on memory that is initialized to 0 anyway this change should not have an effect, but it seems better to initialize osq explicitly for completeness, as done in other macros and functions that initialize mutex and rwsem. Signed-off-by: Nikitas Angelinas

[PATCH] power/poweroff.c: mark variables with __initdata and __maybe_unused
