[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: avoid "may be used uninitialised" warnings

gcc is getting false positives in its detection of uninitialised values.
Specifically it thinks 'gtt_entry' can be used in a WARN_ON() macro
without previously being assigned (the assigment is inside a conditional
loop), bu actually the WARN_ON() can only be reached if the assignment
has also been executed at least once.

To avoid the annoying warning, though, this patch reorganises the code a
little and adds an explicit initialisation of the suspect variable.
