[patch] ftape: shut up gcc - warning about possibly uninitializedvar in drivers/char/ftape/lowlevel/ftape-io.c

[Jesper Juhl]

Tiny patch whose only purpose in life is to shut up gcc below 
(initializing flags to zero serves no real purpose in this function, so 
this really is just a 'shut up gcc' patch) : 

This is the warning it will elliminate : 
drivers/char/ftape/lowlevel/ftape-io.c:93: warning: 'flags' might be used uninitialized in this function

Apply if you want, if you don't that's just fine too :)
