Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: initialize variable cancel

From: Tom Rix <trix@...hat.com>

Clang static analysis reports this problem
ioctl.c:3333:8: warning: 3rd function call argument is an
  uninitialized value
    ret = exclop_start_or_cancel_reloc(fs_info,

cancel is only set in one branch of an if-check and is
always used.  So initialize to false.

Fixes: 1a15eb724aae ("btrfs: use btrfs_get_dev_args_from_path in dev removal ioctls")
