[BUG]
When compiling the devel branch with commit fb8f05e40b458
("btrfs-progs: check: Make repair_imode_common() handle inodes in
subvolume trees"), the following warning will be reported:

  check/mode-common.c: In function ‘detect_imode’:
  check/mode-common.c|1071 col 23| warning: ‘imode’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
  1071 |   *imode_ret = (imode | 0700);
       |                ~~~~~~~^~~~~~~

This only occurs for regular build. If compiled with D=1, the warning
just disappears.

[CAUSE]
Looks like a bug in gcc optimization.
The code will only set @imode_ret when @found is true.
And for every "found = true" assignment we have assigned @imode.
So this is just a false alert.

[FIX]
I hope I can fix the problem of GCC, but obviously I can't (at least for
now).

So let's assign an initial value 0 to @imode to suppress the false
alert.
