Subject: [PATCH 3/5] net/handshake: Fix uninitialized local variable

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@...cle.com>

trace_handshake_cmd_done_err() simply records the pointer in @req,
so initializing it to NULL is sufficient and safe.

Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...aro.org>
Fixes: 3b3009ea8abb ("net/handshake: Create a NETLINK service for handling handshake requests")
