fs/revoke.c: In function 'do_revoke':
fs/revoke.c:563: warning: 'details.fset' may be used uninitialized in this function
fs/revoke.c:563: warning: 'details.restore_start' may be used uninitialized in this function

It seems that we should goto 'out_free_table' if an error happens in
the mainloop. Otherwise 'details' is passed to restore_files() without
being initialized.

Frederik
