Hi Andrew,

   since there's no iso9660 maintainer i send this one to you :).
---
From: Borislav Petkov <bbpetkov@...oo.de>

shut up those:
fs/isofs/namei.c: In function 'isofs_lookup':
fs/isofs/namei.c:161: warning: 'offset' may be used uninitialized in this function
fs/isofs/namei.c:161: warning: 'block' may be used uninitialized in this function

By the way, they get overwritten at the end of isofs_find_entry().
