Subject: [PATCH 1/1] mm/mm_init.c: eliminate a local variable in mem_debugging_and_hardening_init()

From: Zhen Lei <[email protected]>

The local variable 'page_poisoning_requested' is assigned true at only
one point. It can be eliminated by moving the code that depends on it
to the location where it is assigned true. This also make the moved
code to be compiled only if CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING is set.

I don't see it as much of an improvement and code readability becomes worse
IMO.

Yes, the moved branch will be optimized by the compiler if CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING is
not set. But for a reader, he can simply skip over that moved branch when
CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING is not set.

Saving one branch at init does not justify the churn and reduced
readability.
