Before the do-while loop in mtree_range_walk(), the variables next, min, max need to be initialized. The variables last, prev_min and prev_max are set within the loop body before they are eventually used after exiting the loop body. As it is a do-while loop, the loop body is executed at least once, so the variables last, prev_min and prev_max do not need to be initialized before the loop body. Remove unneeded initialization of last and prev_min. The needless initialization was reported by clang-analyzer as Dead Stores. As the compiler already identifies these assignments as unneeded, it optimizes the assignments away. Hence: No functional change. No change in object code.
