[PATCH] mm/memory.c: remove warning from an uninitialized spinlock. was: Re: 2.6.21-rc7-mm2

[Borislav Petkov <bbpetkov@yahoo.de>]

Remove build warning mm/memory.c:1491: warning: 'ptl' may be used uninitialized in this function.
The spinlock pointer is assigned to null since it gets overwritten right away in
pte_alloc_map_lock().
