[PATCH] nfsd: work around a gcc-5.1 warning

gcc-5.0 warns about a potential uninitialized variable use in nfsd:

fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c: In function 'nfsd4_process_open2':
fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c:3781:3: warning: 'old_deny_bmap' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
   reset_union_bmap_deny(old_deny_bmap, stp);
   ^
fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c:3760:16: note: 'old_deny_bmap' was declared here
  unsigned char old_deny_bmap;
                ^

This is a false positive, the code path that is warned about cannot
actually be reached.

This adds an initialization for the variable to make the warning go
away.

This warning shows up in some ARM defconfig builds, which we try to
build with no warnings to detect regressions.
