[PATCH v2] udf: avoid uninitialized variable use

A new warning about a real bug has come up from a recent cleanup:
fs/udf/inode.c: In function 'udf_setup_indirect_aext':
fs/udf/inode.c:1927:28: warning: 'adsize' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
If the alloc_type is neither ICBTAG_FLAG_AD_SHORT nor ICBTAG_FLAG_AD_LONG,
the value of adsize is undefined. This changes the code to use zero for adsize
in that case, which may be the correct solution, though I have not looked
at the code in enough detail to know if it should be something else instead.

Fixes: fcea62babc81 ("udf: Factor out code for creating indirect extent")
---
sorry for missing another instance the first time around. The warning is
a bit unreliable and it seems in my first configuration I got it only
for one of the two instances that show it in other configuration.
After checking the remaining functions in this file for the same possible
problem, I found that the other functions use either 'BUG()' or 'return -EIO'
in the 'else' path, so I assume the two functions here should one of those
as well, but I don't know which.
