[PATCH] function_graph: remove unnecessary initialization in ftrace_graph_ret_addr()

[PATCH] function_graph: remove unnecessary initialization in ftrace_graph_ret_addr()

[Oleg Nesterov]

After the commit 29c1c24a2707 ("function_graph: Fix up ftrace_graph_ret_addr()")
ftrace_graph_ret_addr() doesn't need to initialize "int i" at the start.

While at it, move the declaration of "ret_stack" into the main loop.

Should not make two changes like this, because it risks the entire
patch being denied.

I'm fine with removing the unneeded init of i.

This is just a preference. Sometimes I like the declaration up on top,
sometimes in the block it used. But this case, I wont it at top.

Please make a v2 with just the change to i.
