[lvc-project] [PATCH] nfs: direct: drop useless initializer in nfs_direct_write_completion()

In nfs_direct_write_completion(), the local variable req isn't used outside
the *while* loop and is assigned to right at the start of that loop's body,
so its initializer appears useless -- drop it; then move the declaration to
the loop body (which happens to have a pointless empty line anyway)...

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the Svace static
analysis tool.
