Subject: [PATCH 7/6] mm: pagewalk: add back missing variable initializations

These initializations accidentially got lost during refactoring.

The first one can't actually be used without initialization, because
walk_p4d_range() is only called when one of the 4 callbacks is set, but relying
on this seems fragile.

Looks like my testing had just the right callbacks set so I never hit this. In 
case you want to have this squashed into the original one just drop me a note 
and I'll redo the whole series.
