[PATCH] sparse-index: fix uninitialized jump

From: Derrick Stolee <redacted>

While testing the sparse-index, I verified a test with --valgrind and it
complained about an uninitialized value being used in a jump in the
path_matches_pattern_list() method. The line was this one:

	if (*dtype == DT_UNKNOWN)

In the call stack, the culprit was the initialization of the dtype
variable in convert_to_sparse_rec().

    Sparse-index: fix uninitialized variable
    
    I noticed this by accident while using --valgrind for a different
    reason. Seems like an easy fix.
    
    Thanks, -Stolee
