[Xen-devel] [PATCH] x86/mm: Fix possible increment of uninitialised variable



Discovered by Coverity, CID 1056101

When taking the continue branch on the first iteration of the loop, gfn would
indeed be uninitialised when incremented.  However, as gfn is unconditionally
constructed from i{1..4} before use in the loop body, having it incremented in
the loop header is useless.

Therefore, simply remove it.

I have compile tested this but not functionally tested it.  It is fairly
obvious from the code that it was simply wrong in the first place.
