Subject: [PATCH] toshiba_acpi: Initialize hotkey_event_type variable

Commit 23f8f4326a15 ("toshiba_acpi: Fix hotkeys registration on some
toshiba models") fixed an issue on some laptops regarding hotkeys
registration, however, if failed to address the initialization of the
hotkey_event_type variable, and thus, it can lead to potential
unwanted effects as the variable is being checked.

This patch initializes such variable to avoid such unwanted effects.
