    blktap: Fix two 'maybe uninitialized' variables
    
    [ Cross-ported to blktap1 from 345e44a85d71a
      "blktap2: Fix two 'maybe uninitialized' variables" -iwj;
      Remainder of commit message is from blktap2's version. ]
    
    for which gcc 4.9.0 complains about, like this:
    
    block-qcow.c: In function `get_cluster_offset':
    block-qcow.c:431:3: error: `tmp_ptr' may be used uninitialized in this 
function
    [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
       memcpy(tmp_ptr, l1_ptr, 4096);
       ^
    block-qcow.c:606:7: error: `tmp_ptr2' may be used uninitialized in this
    function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
       if (write(s->fd, tmp_ptr2, 4096) != 4096) {
           ^
    cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
    
/home/dario/Sources/xen/xen/xen.git/tools/blktap2/drivers/../../../tools/Rules.mk:89:
     recipe for target 'block-qcow.o' failed
    make[5]: *** [block-qcow.o] Error 1
    
    The proper behavior is to return upon allocation failure.
    About what to return, 0 seems the best option, looking
    at both the function and the call sites.
