fuse: initialize the flock flag in fuse_file on allocation
Before the patch, the flock flag could remain uninitialized for the lifespan of the fuse_file allocation. Unless set to true in fuse_file_flock(), it would remain in an indeterminate state until read in an if statement in fuse_release_common(). This could consequently lead to taking an unexpected branch in the code. The bug was discovered by a runtime instrumentation designed to detect use of uninitialized memory in the kernel.
