time/timekeeping: Work around false positive GCC warning
Newer GCC versions trigger the following warning:
kernel/time/timekeeping.c: In function ‘get_device_system_crosststamp’:
kernel/time/timekeeping.c:987:5: warning: ‘clock_was_set_seq’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
if (discontinuity) {
^
kernel/time/timekeeping.c:1045:15: note: ‘clock_was_set_seq’ was declared here
unsigned int clock_was_set_seq;
^
GCC clearly is unable to recognize that the 'do_interp' boolean tracks
the initialization status of 'clock_was_set_seq'.
The GCC version used was:
gcc version 5.3.1 20151207 (Red Hat 5.3.1-2) (GCC)
Work it around by initializing clock_was_set_seq to 0. Compilers that
are able to recognize the code flow will eliminate the unnecessary
initialization.
