The idea behind this is to force the assertion failure 
in default when no valid 'mirror' value was entered.
But as all caller pass valid mirror values, this case 
will not happen. So, I just fix the warning of the uninitialized 
variable 'zone' as reported by the kernel test robot. 
Thus I guarantee the failure when 'mirror' was invalid.

If I am wrong, please clarify.

Thanks.
