Even if I agree it is better to clearly define global variables at the
beginning, it is not a mistake to define them in a function.

My main point is that it is maybe easier not to consider this as a fix:
it looks like backporting this to stable will create conflicts. They
will be easy to resolve, but still, it will take a bit of time to a few
people. If it doesn't fix an issue, isn't a preparation patch or doesn't
ease the backport of other patches, maybe better to target -next
(without the "Fixes" tag). WDYT?

If there are no other modifications in the series and no objections, no
need to send a new version, I can apply the patch 2 in -next. If you
need to send a v2, please move this patch after all the other fixes of
the series (or as part of a new series).

Cheers,
Matt
