[PATCH][RT] Trivial: Correctly dereference when clearing unusedvariable

[Sven-Thorsten Dietrich]

From: Sven-Thorsten Dietrich <sdietrich@xxxxxxx>
Subject:  Correctly dereference flags when clearing unused variable.

Its probably unsafe to set the flags pointer to 0, since this will oops,
if it is dereferenced elsewhere for some odd reason.
