'peer' needs to be initialised to NULL here to prevent an oops later if we
fail to look the peer up.

	-	struct rxrpc_peer *peer;
	+	struct rxrpc_peer *peer = NULL;

I've repushed the branch with a new tag rxrpc-fixes-20181008-b if you could
pull that instead.  I can repost the series if you'd prefer.
