[PATCH v2][4.15] gnttab: work around "may be used uninitialized" warning



Sadly I was wrong to suggest dropping vaddrs' initializer during review
of v2 of the patch introducing this code. gcc 4.3 can't cope.

Fixes: 52531c734ea1 ("xen/gnttab: Rework resource acquisition")
Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx>
Acked-by: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>

v2: Re-insert the other half of what Andrew had in his original patch.
