Initialize it to one of the valid types. ION_HEAP_TYPE_SYSTEM
is one choice.

This check isn't necessary. The test requires two arguments,
-i <heap id> and -s <size in bytes> and won't run without either
one of them. heap_type is going to be ION_HEAP_TYPE_SYSTEM or
ION_HEAP_TYPE_SYSTEM_CONTIG at this point.

Interesting. Looks like this test doesn't cover all ion_heap_types.
