DRM_MODESET_LOCK_ALL_BEGIN() has a hidden trap-door (aka retry loop),
which means we can't rely too much on variable initializers.

Fixes: 6e455f5dcdd1 ("drm/crtc: fix uninitialized variable use")

I have mixed feelings about DRM_MODESET_LOCK_ALL_BEGIN() (and friends)
magic.  On one hand it simplifies the deadlock/back dance.  OTOH it
conceals a nasty sharp edge.  Maybe it is better to have the complicated
restart path a bit more explicit, like it was originally.

I should also point out, had drm-misc-next been using gitlab MRs and
gitlab CI, we would have caught this ;-)

Nit: I think we should move all this next to the
DRM_MODESET_LOCK_ALL_BEGIN() and drop initialisation from the prologue
of the function, but it's definitely a separate and more intrusive
story.

I guess at least ...

Alternative would be a very magic for {} macro, but those tend to get
easily defeated with goto/break and friends. Maybe it works now that
linux/cleanup.h has landed, but I'm not sure it's actually better and not
just trading one set of sharp edges for another. Worth a shot in a
prototype at least, if someone's bored.

I think it'd be neater to have all these right below the
DRM_MODESET_LOCK_A_BEGIN instead of duplicated here and at the beginning
of the function. But it's a bit a bikeshed and in some cases (when you use
it later on) gcc might get pissed too. So either way:
