[PATCH v2 05/11] s390: pci: don't print uninitialized data for debugging

gcc correctly warns about an incorrect use of the 'pa' variable
in case we pass an empty scatterlist to __s390_dma_map_sg:

arch/s390/pci/pci_dma.c: In function '__s390_dma_map_sg':
arch/s390/pci/pci_dma.c:309:13: warning: 'pa' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

This adds a bogus initialization to the function to sanitize
the debug output.  I would have preferred a solution without
the initialization, but I only got the report from the
kbuild bot after turning on the warning again, and didn't
manage to reproduce it myself.
