Subject: [PATCH 3/5] rxrpc: fix last_call processing

A change to the retransmission handling in rxrpc caused a use-before-init
bug in rxrpc_data_ready(), as indicated by "gcc -Wmaybe-uninitialized":

net/rxrpc/input.c: In function 'rxrpc_data_ready':
net/rxrpc/input.c:735:34: error: 'call' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

This moves the initialization of the local variable before the first
user, which presumably is what was intended here.

Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>
Fixes: 18bfeba50dfd ("rxrpc: Perform terminal call ACK/ABORT retransmission from conn processor")
