There is apparently one user of COMPLETION_INITIALIZER_ONSTACK
that causes a regression with the patch above:
drivers/acpi/nfit/core.c: In function 'acpi_nfit_flush_probe':
include/linux/completion.h:77:3: error: value computed is not used
[-Werror=unused-value]
(*({ init_completion(&work); &work; }))
It would be trivial to convert to init_completion(), which seems to be
what was intended there.
