Subject: [PATCH 11/28] block: rdb: false-postive gcc-4.9 -Wmaybe-uninitialized

When building with gcc-4.9 -Wmaybe-uninitialized, we get a bogus
warning in rbd_watch_cb, as the variable is not used at all
in the one case in which it is not initialized first:

drivers/block/rbd.c: In function ‘rbd_watch_cb’:
drivers/block/rbd.c:3690:5: error: ‘struct_v’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
drivers/block/rbd.c:3759:5: note: ‘struct_v’ was declared here

Later compiler versions fix this, but adding another initialization
here is harmless and lets us build cleanly with 4.9 as well.
