include/linux/kfifo.h: fix INIT_KFIFO()
DECLARE_KFIFO creates a union with a struct kfifo and a buffer array with size [size + sizeof(struct kfifo)]. INIT_KFIFO then sets the buffer pointer in struct kfifo to point to the beginning of the buffer array which means that the first call to kfifo_in will overwrite members of the struct kfifo.
