This was done to detect when the pernet-&gt;init() function was not called
yet, by checking if net-&gt;nf.queue_handler is NULL.

Once the nfnetlink_queue module is active, all struct net pointers
contain the same address.  So place this back in nf_queue.c.

Handle the 'netns error unwind' test by checking nfnl_queue_net for a
NULL pointer and add a comment for this.

Update the nfnl_info structure to add a pointer to the nfnetlink header.
This simplifies the existing codebase since this header is usually
accessed. Update existing clients to use this new field.

<title>netfilter: nfnetlink: nfnetlink_unicast() reports EAGAIN instead of ENOBUFS</title>

<id>ee921183557af39c1a0475f982d43b0fcac25e2e</id>
<content type='text'>
Frontend callback reports EAGAIN to nfnetlink to retry a command, this
is used to signal that module autoloading is required. Unfortunately,
nlmsg_unicast() reports EAGAIN in case the receiver socket buffer gets
full, so it enters a busy-loop.

This patch updates nfnetlink_unicast() to turn EAGAIN into ENOBUFS and
to use nlmsg_unicast(). Remove the flags field in nfnetlink_unicast()
since this is always MSG_DONTWAIT in the existing code which is exactly
what nlmsg_unicast() passes to netlink_unicast() as parameter.

<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.
