selftests/powerpc/papr-vpd: Fix missing variable initialization
[ Upstream commit 210cfef579260ed6c3b700e7baeae51a5e183f43 ]
The "close handle without consuming VPD" testcase has inconsistent
results because it fails to initialize the location code object it
passes to ioctl() to create a VPD handle. Initialize the location code
to the empty string as intended.
