[PATCH] x86/mm: drop superfluous initialization

[Lukas Bulwahn <lukas.bulwahn@gmail.com>]

It is not required to initialize the local variable start in
memory_map_top_down(), as the variable will be initialized in any path
before it is used.

make clang-analyzer on x86_64 tinyconfig reports:

  arch/x86/mm/init.c:612:15: warning: Although the value stored to 'start' \
  is used in the enclosing expression, the value is never actually read \
  from 'start' [clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores]

Compilers will detect this superfluous assignment and optimize that
expression anyway. So, the resulting binary is identical before and after
the change.

Drop this superfluous assignment to make clang-analyzer happy.

No functional change.

applies cleanly on v5.9-rc7 and next-20200925

Dave, Andy, Peter, please pick this minor non-urgent clean-up patch.

I quickly confirmed that the binary did not change with this change to the
source code; the hash of init.o remained the same before and after the change.

So, in my setup:
  md5sum arch/x86/mm/init.o
  b26f6380760f32d2ef2c7525301eebd3  init.o

linux-safety, please verify and validate this change.
