gcc 10 from Fedora 32 gives me:

Compiling C object libblock.fa.p/nbd_server.c.o
../nbd/server.c: In function ‘nbd_co_client_start’:
../nbd/server.c:625:14: error: ‘namelen’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
  625 |         rc = nbd_negotiate_send_info(client, NBD_INFO_NAME, namelen, name,
      |              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  626 |                                      errp);
      |                                      ~~~~~
../nbd/server.c:564:14: note: ‘namelen’ was declared here
  564 |     uint32_t namelen;
      |              ^~~~~~~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

As I cannot see how this can happen, let uns silence the warning.

gcc is smart enough to see that nbd_opt_read_name(... &namelen), which
is the only use of namelen between declaration and use, does not always
initialize namelen; but fails to see we also exit this function early in
the same conditions when nbd_opt_read_name left namelen uninit.  The
workaround is fine.

I'm happy for this to go in through the trivial tree, but I'll also
queue it on my NBD tree if that is ready first.
