Subject: [PATCH] xilinx_uartps.c: suppress "may be used uninitialised" warning

A powerpc allyesconfig build produces this warning:

In file included from include/linux/radix-tree.h:16,
                 from include/linux/idr.h:15,
                 from include/linux/kernfs.h:13,

                 from include/linux/platform_device.h:13,
                 from drivers/tty/serial/xilinx_uartps.c:16:
drivers/tty/serial/xilinx_uartps.c: In function 'cdns_uart_console_write':
include/linux/spinlock.h:288:3: warning: 'flags' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
   _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(lock, flags); \
   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/tty/serial/xilinx_uartps.c:1197:16: note: 'flags' was declared here
  unsigned long flags;
                ^~~~~

It looks like gcc just can't track the relationship between "locked"
and "flags", and it is obvious that "flags" won't be used when "locked"
is zero, so the simplest thing is to initialise flags.

This has been like this for a very long time, but this is now one of
the few remaining warnings produced by the powerpc allyesconfig build,
so it would be good to get rid of it.
