[ Upstream commit b8e947e9f64cac9df85a07672b658df5b2bcff07 ]

Some arch + compiler combinations report a potentially unused variable
location in btrfs_lookup_dentry(). This is a false alert as the variable
is passed by value and always valid or there's an error. The compilers
cannot probably reason about that although btrfs_inode_by_name() is in
the same file.

   >  + /kisskb/src/fs/btrfs/inode.c: error: 'location.objectid' may be used
   +uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]:  => 5603:9
   >  + /kisskb/src/fs/btrfs/inode.c: error: 'location.type' may be used
   +uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]:  => 5674:5

   mips-gcc8/mips-allmodconfig
   powerpc-gcc5/powerpc-all{mod,yes}config
   powerpc-gcc5/ppc64_defconfig

Initialize it to zero, this should fix the warnings and won't change the
behaviour as btrfs_inode_by_name() accepts only a root or inode item
types, otherwise returns an error.
