Fix this build warning:
warning: 'phys' may be used uninitialized in this function
[-Wuninitialized]
As reported here:

This should have no functional change because you can only get into the if
statement in dax_pgoff_to_phys() that is complaining about 'phys' being
uninitialized if you broke out early in the above loop, in which case
'phys' will be set.
Then the compiler is wrong.

We have uninitialized_var() for silencing the compiler, and since the
report is bogus we might note with a comment which gcc had a problem
with this routine.
