[PATCH 10/28] UBI: fix uninitialized access of vid_hdr pointer

A rework of UBI that just appeared in linux-next during the merge
window introduced caused the recover_peb to use a variable that
is never initialized as seen from this gcc warning:
drivers/mtd/ubi/eba.c: In function ‘recover_peb’:
drivers/mtd/ubi/eba.c:744:40: error: ‘vid_hdr’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
It seems clear that the change to the function arguments was missing
the initialization that I'm now adding back to restore the
way the function was working before.
Fixes: 3291b52f9ff0 ("UBI: introduce the VID buffer concept")
