Subject: [PATCH] pstore: unconditionally initialize spinlock and flags

We check to see if a buffer is already sane-looking, and if it's sane,
we don't wipe it. But that's not an excuse to avoid initializing our
spinlocks or setting our flags. Without this, we might see spinlock
debugging messages like this at boot:

Sorry, there's one more regression... This might be relatively harmless,
since a 0-initialized spinlock is probably OK?
