Subject: [PATCH] Keys: Remove redundant initialization of cred
Date:   Sat,  8 May 2021 17:51:21 +0800
Message-Id: <1620467481-110575-1-git-send-email-yang.lee@linux.alibaba.com>
Precedence: bulk

Pointer cred is being initialized however this value is never
read as cred is assigned an updated value from the returned
call to get_current_cred(). Remove the redundant initialization.

Cleans up clang warning:

security/keys/request_key.c:119:21: warning: Value stored to 'cred'
during its initialization is never read
[clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores]
