Subject: [PATCH RT] tty: serial: pl011: fix warning about uninitialized variable

Silence the following gcc warning:

drivers/tty/serial/amba-pl011.c: In function ‘pl011_console_write’:
./include/linux/spinlock.h:260:3: warning: ‘flags’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
_raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(lock, flags); \
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/tty/serial/amba-pl011.c:2214:16: note: ‘flags’ was declared here
unsigned long flags;
^~~~~

The code is correct. Thus, initializing flags to zero doesn't change the
behavior and resolves the warning.
