I don't know how this isn't caught when we build this in the kernel, but
while sync'ing extent-io-tree.c into btrfs-progs I got an error because
parent could potentially be uninitialized when we link in a new node,
specifically when the extent_io_tree is empty.  This means we could have
garbage in the parent color.  I don't know what the ramifications are of
that, but it's probably not great, so fix this by init'ing parent to
NULL.  I spot checked all of our other usages in btrfs and we appear to
be doing the correct thing everywhere else.

Added to misc-next, thanks. The initialization got lost during the
conversion in c7e118cf98c7 ("btrfs: open code rbtree search in
insert_state").
