Subject: [PATCH] mm-pgtable-reclaim-empty-pte-page-in-madvisemadv_dontneed-fix

Dan Carpenter reported the following warning:

Commit e3aafd2d3551 ("mm: pgtable: reclaim empty PTE page in
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)") from Dec 4, 2024 (linux-next), leads to the
following Smatch static checker warning:

	mm/pt_reclaim.c:69 try_to_free_pte()
	error: uninitialized symbol 'ptl'.

To fix it, assign an initial value of NULL to the ptl.
