Replace the existing /* fall through */ comments and its variants with
the new pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough[1]. Also, remove unnecessary
fall-through markings when it is the case.

During my code inspection I saw there is no implementation of a graceful
shutdown for tcp. This patch will introduce a graceful shutdown for tcp
connections. The shutdown is implemented synchronized as
dlm_lowcomms_stop() is called to end all dlm communication. After shutdown
is done, a lot of flush and closing functionality will be called. However
I don't see a problem with that.

The waitqueue for synchronize the shutdown has a timeout of 10 seconds, if
timeout a force close will be exectued.

<content type='text'>
This patch changes the handling of reconnects. At first we only close
the connection related to the communication failure. If we get a new
connection for an already existing connection we close the existing
connection and take the new one.

This patch improves significantly the stability of tcp connections while
running "tcpkill -9 -i $IFACE port 21064" while generating a lot of dlm
messages e.g. on a gfs2 mount with many files. My test setup shows that a
deadlock is "more" unlikely. Before this patch I wasn't able to get
not a deadlock after 5 seconds. After this patch my observation is
that it's more likely to survive after 5 seconds and more, but still a
deadlock occurs after certain time. My guess is that there are still
"segments" inside the tcp writequeue or retransmit queue which get dropped
when receiving a tcp reset [1]. Hard to reproduce because the right message
need to be inside these queues, which might even be in the 5 first seconds
with this patch.

This patch doesn't close sockets when there is an invalid dlm message
received. The connection will probably reconnect anyway so. To not
close the connection will reduce the number of possible failtures.
As we don't have a different strategy to react on such scenario
just keep going the connection and ignore the message.

Currently the error return path from kobject_init_and_add() is not
followed by a call to kobject_put() - which means we are leaking
the kobject.

Set do_unreg = 1 before kobject_init_and_add() to ensure that
kobject_put() can be called in its error patch.

<title>treewide: Remove uninitialized_var() usage</title>

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.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
	xargs perl -pi -e \
		's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
		 s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.
