[RFC PATCH mtd-utils 002/110] mkfs.ubifs: Initialize 'cipher_name' as NULL

Variable 'cipher_name' is defined on stack without initialization, when
an user invokes mkfs with '--key' and without '-C', 'cipher_name' is a
random value, which could cause init_fscrypt_context() failed to find a
valid cipher.
Fix it by initializing 'cipher_name' as NULL when it is declared.
