Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nfs: Fix KMSAN warning in decode_getfattr_attrs()

Fix the following KMSAN warning:

The KMSAN warning is triggered in decode_getfattr_attrs(), when calling decode_attr_mdsthreshold(). It appears that fattr->mdsthreshold is not initialized.

Fix the issue by initializing fattr->mdsthreshold to NULL in nfs_fattr_init().
