gcc complains that 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,
    inlined from ‘btrfs_alloc_chunk’ at fs/btrfs/volumes.c:5340:2:
include/linux/compiler-gcc.h:48:45: error: ‘ctl.max_chunk_size’ may be used uninitialized [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

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

If we ever get into this condition, something is seriously
wrong, so the same logic as in init_alloc_chunk_ctl_policy_regular()
and a few other places should be applied. This avoids both further
data corruption, and the compile-time warning.
