Merge tag 'uninit-macro-v5.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux

Pull uninitialized_var() macro removal from Kees Cook:
 "This is long overdue, and has hidden too many bugs over the years. The
  series has several "by hand" fixes, and then a trivial treewide
  replacement.

   - Clean up non-trivial uses of uninitialized_var()

   - Update documentation and checkpatch for uninitialized_var() removal

   - Treewide removal of uninitialized_var()"
