Subject: [PATCH 3.13-rc1] xen-blkfront: Silence pfn maybe-uninitialized warning

pfn cannot actually be used unless (!info->feature_persistent), nor is
pfn accessed in get_grant() unless (!info->feature_persistent), but silence
this warning anyway. gcc-4.8

drivers/block/xen-blkfront.c: In function 'do_blkif_request':
drivers/block/xen-blkfront.c:508:20: warning: 'pfn' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
     gnt_list_entry = get_grant(&gref_head, pfn, info);
                    ^
drivers/block/xen-blkfront.c:492:19: note: 'pfn' was declared here
     unsigned long pfn;
