[PATCH net-next 2/4] net/rds: initialize i_conn_path in rds_inc_init()

From: William Kucharski <[email protected]>

rds_inc_init() initializes every field of the embedded rds_incoming
except i_conn_path, and incomings are not zero-allocated (IB carves
them out of a slab cache).  The field therefore holds stale garbage
for incs created by the non-multipath transports (rds_ib, loopback).

Initialize it to NULL so that any future reader trips over a clean
NULL pointer instead of a stale one, and so the two init helpers
(rds_inc_init/rds_inc_path_init) leave the structure in an equivalent,
fully-initialized state.  Hardening only; no user-visible bug in the
current code.

This mirrors Oracle UEK commit "rds: rds_inc_init() should initialize
the inc->i_conn_path field".
