Hi Qi Zheng,

As can be seen in the next hunk, this function returns 'ret'.
However, with this change 'ret' is uninitialised unless
signal_pending() returns non-zero in the while loop below.

This is flagged in a clan-16 W=1 build.

 mm/shrinker_debug.c:87:11: warning: variable 'ret' is used uninitialized whenever 'do' loop exits because its condition is false [-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
         } while ((memcg = mem_cgroup_iter(NULL, memcg, NULL)) != NULL);
                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 mm/shrinker_debug.c:92:9: note: uninitialized use occurs here
         return ret;
                ^~~
 mm/shrinker_debug.c:87:11: note: remove the condition if it is always true
         } while ((memcg = mem_cgroup_iter(NULL, memcg, NULL)) != NULL);
                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                  1

         int ret, nid;
                ^
                 = 0
