gcc 15 complains about an uninitialized variable val that is passed by
reference into fuse_conn_limit_write:
control.c: In function ‘fuse_conn_congestion_threshold_write’:
include/asm-generic/rwonce.h:55:37: warning: ‘val’ may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
55 | *(volatile typeof(x) *)&(x) = (val); \

control.c:178:9: note: in expansion of macro ‘WRITE_ONCE’

Unfortunately there's enough macro spew involved in kstrtoul_from_user
that I think gcc gives up on its analysis and sprays the above warning.
AFAICT it's not actually a bug, but we could just zero-initialize the
variable to enable using -Wmaybe-uninitialized to find real problems.
Previously we would use some weird uninitialized_var annotation to quiet
down the warnings, so clearly this code has been like this for quite
some time.
