[PATCH] btrfs-progs: check: Initialize all filed of btrfs_inode_item in insert_inode_item()

[Misono Tomohiro]

Initialize all filed of btrfs_inode_item to zero in order to prevent
having some garbage, especially for flags field.

Have you observed in practice or is it a matter of precaution?

I saw failure of fsck-test/010 in yesterday's devel branch and
made this patch. It turned out that root cause was wrong flag comparison
in btrfs check.
(https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-btrfs@vger.kernel.org/msg77758.html)

With Su's fix, failure of fsck-test/010 is also gone without this patch,
but it is better to initialize the variables anyway.

Agreed. I saw odd flags reported by btrfs check too.
The callers of insert_inode_item() don't set inode flags manully.
