Some arch + compiler combinations report a potentially unused variable
location in btrfs_lookup_dentry(). This is a false alert as the variable
is passed by value and always valid or there's an error. The compilers
cannot probably reason about that although btrfs_inode_by_name() is in
the same file.

Initialize it to zero, this should fix the warnings and won't change the
behaviour as btrfs_inode_by_name() accepts only a root or inode item
types, otherwise returns an error.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
