[PATCH][next] fs: Fix uninitialized variable uflags

From: Colin Ian King
Date: Wed Feb 26 2025 - 17:39:59 EST


The variable uflags is only being initialized in the if statement that
checks if flags & MOVE_MOUNT_F_EMPTY_PATH is non-zero. Fix this by
initializing uflags at the start of the system call move_mount.

Fixes: b1e9423d65e3 ("fs: support getname_maybe_null() in move_mount()")
