Subject: [PATCH] kasan: avoid -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning

gcc-7 produces this warning:

mm/kasan/report.c: In function 'kasan_report':
mm/kasan/report.c:351:3: error: 'info.first_bad_addr' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
   print_shadow_for_address(info->first_bad_addr);
   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
mm/kasan/report.c:360:27: note: 'info.first_bad_addr' was declared here

The code seems fine as we only print info.first_bad_addr when there is a shadow,
and we always initialize it in that case, but this is relatively hard
for gcc to figure out after the latest rework. Adding an intialization
in the other code path gets rid of the warning.

Fixes: b235b9808664 ("kasan: unify report headers")
