Use a variable before it's declaration

[Rock Lee <rocklee_104@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, all:
	Here is a snippet of linux-v3.4 which drives me crazy.
Because init_task hasn't been declared yet when init_thread_union is 
initializing. Why is there no compiling error? Any hint would be helpful.

union thread_union init_thread_union __init_task_data = 

     { INIT_THREAD_INFO(init_task) }; 

 

/* 

  * Initial task structure. 

  * 

  * All other task structs will be allocated on slabs in fork.c 

  */ 

struct task_struct init_task = INIT_TASK(init_task);
