Subject: [PATCH 1/3] pstore: Correctly initialize spinlock and flags

The ram backend wasn't always initializing its spinlock correctly. Since
it was coming from kzalloc memory, though, it was harmless on
architectures that initialize unlocked spinlocks to 0 (at least x86 and
ARM). This also fixes a possibly ignored flag setting too.

When running under CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, the following Oops was visible:
