[PATCH] drm: avoid "mono_time_offset may be used uninitialized"

[Stephen Warren]

From: Stephen Warren <swarren@xxxxxxxxxx>

Silence the following:
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_irq.c: In function 'drm_calc_vbltimestamp_from_scanoutpos':
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_irq.c:583:24: warning: 'mono_time_offset.tv64' may be used uninitialized in this function

... by always initializing mono_time_offset to zero. In practice, this
warning is false, since mono_time_offset is both set and used under the
condition if (!drm_timestamp_monotonic). However, at least my compiler
can't be coerced into realizing this; almost any code between the if
blocks that set and use the variable causes this warning.

I'm not sure what the current thinking is re: silencing warnings like this;
IIRC some people may dislike this kind of change. Perhaps if this change
alone is problematic, one could additionally remove the if condition on the
use of mono_time_offset, thus always using the value?
