Subject: [PATCH 3.18 18/84] f2fs: avoid returning uninitialized value to userspace from f2fs_trim_fs()

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>

commit 9bd27ae4aafc9bfee6c8791f7d801ea16cc5622b upstream.

If user specifies too low end sector for trimming, f2fs_trim_fs() will
use uninitialized value as a number of trimmed blocks and returns it to
userspace. Initialize number of trimmed blocks early to avoid the
problem.
