[PATCH] secretmem: drop unneeded initialization in secretmem_file_create()

Drop the unneeded initialization of the local variable file in function
secretmem_file_create().

No functional change and no change in the resulting object code.

This unneeded initialization was already introduced with the introduction
of secretmem in commit 1507f51255c9 ("mm: introduce memfd_secret system
call to create "secret" memory areas"). This minor code-stylistic issue
was discovered as a dead store with clang-analyzer.
