Subject: [PATCH] AFS: Fix compilation warning

From: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@...ia.com>

Fix the following warning:

fs/afs/dir.c: In function 'afs_d_revalidate':
fs/afs/dir.c:567: warning: 'fid.vnode' may be used uninitialized in this function
fs/afs/dir.c:567: warning: 'fid.unique' may be used uninitialized in this function

by marking the 'fid' variable as an uninitialized_var.  The problem is that gcc
doesn't always manage to work out that fid is always set on the path through
the function that uses it.
