nfnetlink warnings

[Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de>]

Hey,

so I keep getting those since recently:

net/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue.c:519:19: warning: ‘nfnl_ct’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
  if (ct && nfnl_ct->build(skb, ct, ctinfo, NFQA_CT, NFQA_CT_INFO) < 0)
                   ^
net/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue.c:316:23: note: ‘nfnl_ct’ was declared here
  struct nfnl_ct_hook *nfnl_ct;
                       ^
net/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue.c: In function ‘nfqnl_recv_verdict’:
net/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue.c:1083:11: warning: ‘nfnl_ct’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
    nfnl_ct->seq_adjust(entry->skb, ct, ctinfo, diff);
           ^

and was thinking can we shut them up like this? I know, it is ugly :-\

I mean, it is obvious in both cases that nfnl_ct won't be used if ct is
not set but apparently gcc can't see that far...
