[ 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.

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.
