[PATCH] ACPI: fix potential OOPS in power driver

[Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@insightbb.com>]

Hi,

I am wondering what is the reason to have every local variable
initialized, whether it is needed or not? Aside of increasing
code size it also hides errors compiler would warn about otherwise.

The patch below fixes potential OOPS, I have more patches that
remove unnecessary initializations, checks. Would you be interested
in these?

ACPI: fix potential OOPS in power driver

ACPI is littered with useless itialization of _every_ variable
on the stack. Besides increasing code it also sometimes covers
real bugs.
