Since commit 1dcc41bb (futex: Change 3rd arg of fetch_robust_entry()
to unsigned int*) some gcc versions decided to emit the following
warning:

kernel/futex.c: In function ‘exit_robust_list’:
kernel/futex.c:2492: warning: ‘next_pi’ may be used uninitialized in this function

The commit did not introduce the warning as gcc should have warned
before that commit as well. It's just gcc being silly.

The code path really can't result in next_pi being unitialized (or
should not), but let's keep the build clean. Annotate next_pi as an
uninitialized_var.

[ tglx: Addressed the same issue in futex_compat.c and massaged the
   changelog ]
