Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Remove redundant assignment to event_var
Date:   Fri,  7 May 2021 18:23:50 +0800
Message-Id: <1620383030-70462-1-git-send-email-jiapeng.chong@linux.alibaba.com>
Precedence: bulk

Variable event_var is set to 'ERR_PTR(-EINVAL)', but this value
is never read as it is overwritten or not used later on, hence
it is a redundant assignment and can be removed.

Clean up the following clang-analyzer warning:

kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:2437:21: warning: Value stored to
'event_var' during its initialization is never read
[clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores].
