Can we add something like this as a preliminary preparation step
before the series?

Subject: [PATCH] treewide: initialize pointers to hashmap entries

There are not strictly necessary, but some compilers (e.g. clang
6.0.1) apparently have trouble in construct we will use in the
OFFSETOF_VAR() macro, i.e.

    ((uintptr_t)&(ptr)->member - (uintptr_t)(ptr))

when the ptr is uninitialized.
