Initialize the variables with proper values so that we save a few
lines of code before we extend this function in the follow-up patches.

Hi Bartosz

You are now in the net subsystem, which has its own set of additional
coding styles. One of them is reverse Christmas tree.

You might want to read Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.txt.

Hi Andrew,

it's still reverse Christmas tree in this patch except that now we're
taking the length of the variable + initializer into account. I'm not
sure if this is the right approach though.
