From: Sudip Mukherjee <sudipm.mukherjee@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: kernel/relay.c: drop unneeded initialization The variable 'consumed' is initialized with the consumed count but immediately after that the consumed count is updated and assigned to 'consumed' again thus overwriting the previous value. So, drop the unneeded initialization.
