[PATCH] Silence 'may be used uninitialized' warning in net/key/af_key.c

[tony@bakeyournoodle.com (Tony Breeds)]

Currently the kernel warns about:
net/key/af_key.c: In function 'pfkey_spddelete':
net/key/af_key.c:2359: warning: 'pol_ctx' may be used uninitialized in this function

Certainly in the case that CONFIG_SECURITY_NETWORK_XFRM is not set a bogus
value for pol_ctx will be passed arround.  Unconditonnaly initialise to NULL,
to avoid this problem.
