Subject: [PATCH 3.2 095/147] eCryptfs: initialize payload_len in keystore.c

3.2.95-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Simon Que <sque@...omium.org>

commit fa5199648e273a5e3e80aca41c1eb53700438dc1 upstream.

This is meant to remove a compiler warning.  It should not make any
functional change.

payload_len should be initialized when it is passed to
write_tag_64_packet() as a pointer.  If that call fails, this function
should return early, and payload_len won't be used.
