Alexander Potapenko 4d608baac5 block: Initialize cfqq->ioprio_class in cfq_get_queue()
KMSAN (KernelMemorySanitizer, a new error detection tool) reports use of
uninitialized memory in cfq_init_cfqq():

BUG: KMSAN: use of unitialized memory

==================================================================
(the line numbers are relative to 4.8-rc6, but the bug persists
upstream)

The uninitialized struct cfq_queue is created by kmem_cache_alloc_node()
and then passed to cfq_init_cfqq(), which accesses cfqq->ioprio_class
before it's initialized.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
