From: Colin Ian King <[email protected]>
The pointer 'target' is not initialized and is only assigned when the
ACPI_HMAT_MEMORY_PD_VALID bit in p->flags is set. There is a later null
check on target that leads to an uninitialized pointer read and
dereference when assigning target->processor_pxm when target contains a
non-null garbage value. Fix this by initializing targer to null.
Fixes: 665ac7e92757 ("acpi/hmat: Register processor domain to its memory")
Addresses-Coverity: ("Uninitialized pointer read")
