gcc sometimes can't determine whether a variable has been initialized
when both the initialization and the use are conditional:
fs/btrfs/props.c: In function 'inherit_props':
fs/btrfs/props.c:389:4: error: 'num_bytes' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
btrfs_block_rsv_release(fs_info, trans->block_rsv,
This code is fine. Unfortunately, I cannot think of a good way to
rephrase it in a way that makes gcc understand this, so I add
a bogus initialization the way one should not.
