Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cxl/test: Fix __fortify_panic
Fix a runtime assertion in setup_xor_mapping(). Fortify complains that it

Quiet the false positive by initializing @nr_maps earlier.
memcpy: detected buffer overflow: 32 byte write of buffer size 0
