Subject: [PATCH] fs/btrfs/ordered-data.c: fixed compiler warnings for using uninitialized variable

In the function tree_search, the variable prev was used without first
being initialized, causing compiler warning messages. Initializing
prev to NULL resolved the issue.

Kernal patched against: 2.6.36-rc3 (df423dc7)

    __tree_search() might not set &prev.
