Subject: libceph: add an ONSTACK initializer for oids

From: Ilya Dryomov <[email protected]>

commit 281dbe5db81c6137def9757e07a7aea14b1ed86e upstream.

An on-stack oid in ceph_ioctl_get_dataloc() is not initialized, resulting in a WARN and a NULL pointer dereference later on. We will have more of these on-stack in the future, so fix it with a convenience macro.
