netfilter: nfnetlink_log: work around uninitialized variable warning
After a recent (correct) change, gcc started warning about the use of the 'flags' variable in nfulnl_recv_config() net/netfilter/nfnetlink_log.c: In function 'nfulnl_recv_config': net/netfilter/nfnetlink_log.c:320:14: warning: 'flags' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] net/netfilter/nfnetlink_log.c:828:6: note: 'flags' was declared here The warning first shows up in ARM s3c2410_defconfig with gcc-4.3 or higher (including 5.2.1, which is the latest version I checked) I tried working around it by rearranging the code but had no success with that. As a last resort, this initializes the variable to zero, which shuts up the warning, but means that we don't get a warning if the code is ever changed in a way that actually causes the variable to be used without first being written.
