[ Upstream commit 29cda393bc ]
Patch "bcache: rework error unwinding in register_bcache" from
Christoph Hellwig changes the local variables 'path' and 'err'
in undefined initial state. If the code in register_bcache() jumps
to label 'out:' or 'out_module_put:' by goto, these two variables
might be reference with undefined value by the following line,
out_module_put:
module_put(THIS_MODULE);
out:
pr_info("error %s: %s", path, err);
return ret;
Therefore this patch initializes these two local variables properly
in register_bcache() to avoid such issue.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
