fs_path_alloc() either returns an alloc'ed struct fs_path
or NULL, no need to initialize the pointer to NULL.

I'd rather see all such instances fixed in one patch. Quick grep
revealed a few more. OTOH this kind of extra initialization is harmless
and sometimes help readability, it's clear that he value is zeroed.

When you put it like that, you are right, it's more important to make
things obvious than to fiercely abide by all the subtleties of our
coding style. I submit to your point of view and will not insist on
this kind of change in the future.
