[PATCH v1] mtdinfo: Initialize reginfo variable before invoking mtd_regioninfo

From: Yang Wei <Wei.Yang at windriver.com>

If not initializing this variable, its value would be random. So
once the value of the regionindex field of region_info_user structure
is greater than mtd->numeraseregions. ioctl,which comes with MEMGETREGIONINFO,
would return -EINVAL

		Hi Guys,

		I got the following errors when running "mtdinfo /dev/mtd0" on Cavium 6100 board,

		Sub-page size:                  1 byte
		Additional erase regions:       0
		Character device major/minor:   90:0
		Bad blocks are allowed:         false
		Device is writable:             true
		libmtd: error!: MEMGETREGIONINFO ioctl failed for erase region 0
		        error 22 (Invalid argument)
		Eraseblock region 0:  info is unavailable
		libmtd: error!: MEMGETREGIONINFO ioctl failed for erase region 1
		        error 22 (Invalid argument)
		Eraseblock region 1:  info is unavailable

		This patch is to fix the above errors. I have already verified it
