[PATCH] fix warning in net/dccp/options.c

[Ingo Molnar]

fix this warning:

  net/dccp/options.c: In function âdccp_parse_optionsâ:
  net/dccp/options.c:67: warning: âvalueâ may be used uninitialized in this function

This is a bogus GCC warning. The compiler does not recognize the relation
between "value" and "mandatory" variables: the code flow can ever reach
the "out_invalid_option:" label if 'mandatory' is set to 1, and when
'mandatory' is non-zero, we'll always have 'value' initialized.

Help out the compiler by annotating the variable.
