[PATCH] NFSD: fix uninitialized variable

Unlike many of the bogus warnings spewed by gcc, this one actually
complains about a real bug:

fs/nfsd/nfs4acl.c: In function ‘_posix_to_nfsv4_one’:
fs/nfsd/nfs4acl.c:227: warning: ‘pas.owner’ may be used uninitialized in this function
fs/nfsd/nfs4acl.c:227: warning: ‘pas.group’ may be used uninitialized in this function
fs/nfsd/nfs4acl.c:227: warning: ‘pas.other’ may be used uninitialized in this function
