==8968==  Uninitialised value was created by a stack allocation
==8968==    at 0x42B5FB: add_inode_items (mkfs.c:493)

1. On-disk inode format has reserved (and thus, random at alloc time) fields:
   btrfs_inode_item: __le64 reserved[4]
2. Sometimes extents are created on disk without writing data there.
   (Or at least not all data is written there). Kernel code always had
   it kzalloc'ed.
Zero them all.
