Subject[PATCH] udf: avoid uninitialized variable use
Date
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.
