Subject: drbd: Remove uninitialized_var() usage
Git-commit: 805cdb8bc6da87818fe3b27798a5031b54ed7b20
Patch-mainline: v5.9-rc1
References: bsc#1186515
Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings (e.g.
"unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized, either
simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes. As a precursor
to removing[2] this[3] macro[4], just initialize this variable to NULL.
