xattr: mark variable as uninitialized to make both gcc and smatch happy
new_xattr in __simple_xattr_set() is only initialized with a valid pointer if value is not NULL, which only happens if this function is called directly with the intention to remove an existing extended attribute. Even being safe to be this way, smatch warns about possible NULL dereference. Dan Carpenter suggested using uninitialized_var() which will make both gcc and smatch happy.
