commit 230436b3ef3fd7d4a1da19edf5e87bb2d74e0fc2 upstream.

gcc is unsure about the use of last_ofs_in_node, which might happen
without a prior initialization:

fs/f2fs//git/arm-soc/fs/f2fs/data.c: In function ‘f2fs_map_blocks’:
fs/f2fs/data.c:799:54: warning: ‘last_ofs_in_node’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
   if (prealloc && dn.ofs_in_node != last_ofs_in_node + 1) {

As pointed out by Chao Yu, the code is actually correct as 'prealloc'
is only set if the last_ofs_in_node has been set, the two always
get updated together.

This initializes last_ofs_in_node to dn.ofs_in_node for each
new dnode at the start of the 'next_block' loop, which at that
point is a correct initialization as well. I assume that compilers
that correctly track the contents of the variables and do not
warn about the condition also figure out that they can eliminate
the extra assignment here.
