[PATCH] xfs: ensure committed is initialized in xfs_trans_roll

[PATCH] xfs: ensure committed is initialized in xfs_trans_roll

[Eric Sandeen]

__xfs_trans_roll() can return without setting the
*committed argument; this was a problem for xfs_bmap_finish():

        int       committed;/* xact committed or not */
...
        error = __xfs_trans_roll(tp, ip, &committed);
        if (error) {
...
                if (committed) {

and we tested an uninitialized "committed" variable on the
error path.  No caller is preserving "committed" state across
calls to __xfs_trans_roll(), so just initialize committed inside
the function to avoid future errors like this.
