[PATCH 3/3] sched/wait: avoid double initialization in ___wait_event()

With CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL enabled, the local __wq_entry is initialized
twice. Because Clang is currently unable to optimize the automatic
initialization away (init_wait_entry() is defined in another translation
unit), remove it with the __do_not_initialize annotation.
