getsysstats problem


Hi,

I got the following warning - and a segfault in getsysstats running
the testsuite:
../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getsysstats.c:48: warning: `result' might be used uninitialized in this function

We do need to initialize result with NULL.  I've committed the
appended patch.

	Initialize result.
