The ctl->max_chunk_size member might be used uninitialized
when none of the three conditions for initializing it in
init_alloc_chunk_ctl_policy_zoned() are true:

In function ‘init_alloc_chunk_ctl_policy_zoned’,
    inlined from ‘init_alloc_chunk_ctl’ at fs/btrfs/volumes.c:5023:3,

      |                               ^~~
fs/btrfs/volumes.c: In function ‘btrfs_alloc_chunk’:

Initialize it to UINT_MAX and rely on the min() expression to limit
it.

Note that the -Wmaybe-unintialized warning is globally disabled
by default. For some reason I got this warning anyway when building
this specific file with gcc-11.
The warning catches a theoretical case but this would not happen in
pracitce.  There are three bits to check and that covers all valid
options, but there should be a final else {} like is in
init_alloc_chunk_ctl_policy_regular that does not let the function
continue as that would mean there are worse problems.

btrfs_alloc_chunk
  init_alloc_chunk_ctl
    init_alloc_chunk_ctl_policy_zoned

and btrfs_alloc_chunk validates the ctl->flags against
BTRFS_BLOCK_GROUP_TYPE_MASK, which is exactly the tree branches.

This would allow the min() work but otherwise is not an expected to
happen at all.

 		ctl->max_chunk_size = round_down(BTRFS_MAX_DATA_CHUNK_SIZE,
