Subject: [PATCH][next] coredump: Remove redundant initialization of variable core_waiters
Date:   Mon, 11 Oct 2021 14:16:35 +0100

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

The variable core_waiters is being initialized with a value that is never
read, it is being updated later on. The assignment is redundant and can
be removed.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
