SubjectRe: [patch] mm: fix build warning for uninitialized value
do_wp_page() sets mmun_called if mmun_start and mmun_end were initialized 
and, if so, may call mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() with these
values. This doesn't prevent gcc from emitting a build warning though:

mm/memory.c: In function ‘do_wp_page’:
mm/memory.c:2530: warning: ‘mmun_start’ may be used uninitialized in this function
mm/memory.c:2531: warning: ‘mmun_end’ may be used uninitialized in this function

It's much easier to initialize the variables to impossible values and do a
simple comparison to determine if they were initialized to remove the bool
entirely.
