[PATCH] fsnotify: initialize mask in fsnotify_perm

From: Eric Paris
Date: Wed May 12 2010 - 11:50:03 EST


akpm got a warning the fsnotify_mask could be used uninitialized in
fsnotify_perm(). It's not actually possible but his compiler complained
about it. This patch just initializes it to 0 to shut up the compiler.
