Subject: scm: fix scm_fp_list->list initialization made in wrong place
This is the next page of the scm recursion story (the commit
f8d570a4 net: Fix recursive descent in __scm_destroy()).
In function scm_fp_dup(), the INIT_LIST_HEAD(&fpl->list) of newly
created fpl is done *before* the subsequent memcpy from the old
structure and thus the freshly initialized list is overwritten.
But that's OK, since this initialization is not required at all,
since the fpl->list is list_add-ed at the destruction time in any
case (and is unused in other code), so I propose to drop both
initializations, rather than moving it after the memcpy.
Please, correct me if I miss something significant.
