    in_mcast: Fix uninitialized variable usage in inm_merge()
    
    When the first loop in inm_merge() hits an error, generally because it
    hit some limit on the number of source filters for a multicast group,
    inm_merge() tries to atomically roll back changes to the group source
    filter list.
    
    To roll back, it iterates over the global source filter list for the
    multicast group, starting at the last entry that we updated ("nims").
    But, if we have not yet updated any entries, this variable is
    uninitialized.  Initialize it to NULL, so that RB_FOREACH_REVERSE_FROM
    doesn't visit any source filters in this case.
    
    All of the above applies to the v6 case.
