[ Upstream commit b8e947e9f64cac9df85a07672b658df5b2bcff07 ]
Some arch + compiler combinations report a potentially unused variable location in btrfs_lookup_dentry(). This is a false alert as the variable is passed by value and always valid or there's an error. The compilers cannot probably reason about that although btrfs_inode_by_name() is in the same file.
- /kisskb/src/fs/btrfs/inode.c: error: 'location.objectid' may be used
+uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]: => 5603:9
- /kisskb/src/fs/btrfs/inode.c: error: 'location.type' may be used
+uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]: => 5674:5

Initialize it to zero, this should fix the warnings and won't change the behaviour as btrfs_inode_by_name() accepts only a root or inode item types, otherwise returns an error.
