The commit 665ac7e92757 ("acpi/hmat: Register processor domain to its
memory") introduced an uninitialized "struct memory_target" that could
cause an incorrect branching.

uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false
[-Wsometimes-uninitialized]

Thanks for the catch. We do have another patch submitted a few days that
fixes this, though:
