initialized pointer before using it, so that SAFE_FREE() won't free an uninitialized pointer.

Sorry, this bug should not be created:
1) this bug seems fixed a year ago, though there are some other pointers should be set as null 
2) the attached diff file is not that exact.
so mark this bug as INVALID.

The fix one year ago:
commit 9e3634fb63f6dec1a3c820a462b5f732e7d09206
Author: Volker Lendecke <vl@samba.org>
Date:   Thu Jan 17 17:17:52 2008 +0100

    Fix two uninitialized variables in vfs_hpuxacl.c

    Thanks to David Leonard <David.Leonard@quest.com>, this fixes bug 5208.
