kbuild test robot gets the following compilation warning using gcc 7.4 cross compilation for c6x (GCC_VERSION=7.4.0 make.cross ARCH=c6x).

The variable zone_blocks is always initialized in sd_zbc_check_zones() before use. It is not initialized only and only if sd_zbc_check_zones() fails. Avoid this warning by initializing the zone_blocks variable to 0.
