Subject: [PATCH 20/20] staging/lustre/mdc: Initialize req in mdc_enqueue for !it case

From: Oleg Drokin <green@...uxhacker.ru>

Commit ab909585b813 ("staging: lustre: Cleanup variable declarations
in mdc_enqueue()") broke Lustre flock handling introducing access
to uninitialized req variable, leading to bizzare crash in a later
call to __req_capsule_offset with invalid pill value.

Set req to NULL just for this case as in all other cases req is
explicitly initialized with request packing call.
