Drop the unneeded initialization of the local variable file in function
secretmem_file_create().

No functional change and no change in the resulting object code.

This unneeded initialization was already introduced with the introduction
of secretmem in commit 1507f51255c9 ("mm: introduce memfd_secret system
call to create "secret" memory areas").

You may need to be more specific about this commit, the whole function, including this initialization was introduced at this time.

Otherwise, change looks fine.
