[1/1] migration: fix compiler warning on uninitialized variable

Some older GCC versions (e.g. 4.4.7) report a warning on an
uninitialized variable for 'request', even though all possible code
paths that reference 'request' will be initialized.   To appease
these versions, initialize the variable to 0.

Thanks for reporting this,  I think this patch can go through trivial
branch.

Hi Jeff,

I can confirm that this patch fixes the issue for me (and indeed I see
that Peter has already applied this to git master as a build fix).


Many thanks,

Mark.
