What version of gcc reports that? 9.2.1 does not.

The reference is passed to a static function, so the compiler has enough
information to determine if it's unused. By inspection I don't see a
problem with the uninitalized variable: if __get_inode_info succeeds,
there's a valid value, in error case it's not used at all.
