Juha Niskanen ea1144630d sched/task/task_spawn.c: initialize variables explicitly
'pid' cannot really be used uninitialized, but Clang analyzer does not
see it.  Add initializer to silence it and also make debugging slightly
easier.

Explicitly set pid's address to NULL to fix this complaint:

  "Address of stack memory associated with local variable 'pid' is still
   referred to by the global variable 'g_spawn_parms' upon returning to
   the caller."

No functional change.

* Description:
* Execute the task from the file system.
*
* Input Parameters:
*
* pidp - Upon successful completion, this will return the task ID of the
* child task in the variable pointed to by a non-NULL 'pid' argument.|
*
* name - The name to assign to the child task.
*
* entry - The child task's entry point (an address in memory)
*
* attr - If the value of the 'attr' parameter is NULL, the all default
* values for the POSIX spawn attributes will be used. Otherwise, the
* attributes will be set according to the spawn flags. The
* following spawn flags are supported:
*
* - POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDPARAM: Set new tasks priority to the sched_param
* value.
* - POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDULER: Set the new tasks scheduler priority to
* the sched_policy value.
*
* NOTE: POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGMASK is handled in nxtask_spawn_proxy().
*
* argv - argv[] is the argument list for the new task. argv[] is an
* array of pointers to null-terminated strings. The list is terminated
* with a null pointer.
*
* Returned Value:
* This function will return zero on success. Otherwise, an error number
* will be returned as the function return value to indicate the error.
* This errno value may be that set by execv(), sched_setpolicy(), or
* sched_setparam().

* Name: nxtask_spawn_proxy
*
* Description:
* Perform file_actions, then execute the task from the file system.
*
* Do we really need a proxy task in this case? Isn't that wasteful?
*
* Q: Why can we do what we need to do here and the just call the
* new task's entry point.
* A: This would require setting up the name, priority, and stacksize from
* the task_spawn, but it do-able. The only issue I can think of is
* that NuttX supports task_restart(), and you would never be able to
* restart a task from this point.
*
* Q: Why not use a starthook so that there is callout from nxtask_start()
* to perform these operations?
* A: Good idea, except that existing nxtask_starthook() implementation
* cannot be used here unless we get rid of task_create and, instead,
* use nxtask_init() and nxtask_activate(). start_taskhook() could then
* be called between nxtask_init() and nxtask_activate().
* task_restart() would still be an issue.
*
* Input Parameters:
* Standard task start-up parameters
*
* Returned Value:
* Standard task return value.

* Name: task_spawn
*
* Description:
* The task_spawn() function will create a new, child task, where the
* entry point to the task is an address in memory.
*
* Input Parameters:
*
* name - The name to assign to the child task.
*
* entry - The child task's entry point (an address in memory)
*
* file_actions - If 'file_actions' is a null pointer, then file
* descriptors open in the calling process will remain open in the
* child process (unless CONFIG_FDCLONE_STDIO is defined). If
* 'file_actions' is not NULL, then the file descriptors open in the
* child process will be those open in the calling process as modified
* by the spawn file actions object pointed to by file_actions.
*
* attr - If the value of the 'attr' parameter is NULL, the all default
* values for the POSIX spawn attributes will be used. Otherwise, the
* attributes will be set according to the spawn flags. The
* task_spawnattr_t spawn attributes object type is defined in spawn.h.
* It will contains these attributes, not all of which are supported by
* NuttX:
*
* - POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP: Setting of the new task's process group is
* not supported. NuttX does not support process groups.
* - POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDPARAM: Set new tasks priority to the sched_param
* value.
* - POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDULER: Set the new task's scheduler policy to
* the sched_policy value.
* - POSIX_SPAWN_RESETIDS: Resetting of the effective user ID of the
* child process is not supported. NuttX does not support effective
* user IDs.
* - POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGMASK: Set the new task's signal mask.
* - POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF: Resetting signal default actions is not
* supported. NuttX does not support default signal actions.
*
* And the non-standard:
*
* - TASK_SPAWN_SETSTACKSIZE: Set the stack size for the new task.
*
* argv - argv[] is the argument list for the new task. argv[] is an
* array of pointers to null-terminated strings. The list is terminated
* with a null pointer.
*
* envp - The envp[] argument is not used by NuttX and may be NULL.
*
* Returned Value:
* task_spawn() will return process ID of new task on success.
* Otherwise, a negative number will be returned as the function return
* value to indicate the error:
*
* - EINVAL: The value specified by 'file_actions' or 'attr' is invalid.
* - Any errors that might have been return if vfork() and excec[l|v]()
* had been called.
