[PATCH 1/4] fs: btrfs: inode: handle uninitialized type before returning it

In btrfs_lookup_path() the local variable @type should always be updated
after we hit any file/dir.

But if @filename is NULL from the very beginning, then we don't
initialize it and return it directly.

To prevent such problem from happening, we initialize @type to
BTRFS_FT_UNKNOWN.
For normal execution route, it will get updated for each filename we
resolved.
Buf if we didn't find any path, we check if the type is still FT_UNKNOWN
and ret == 0. If true we know there is something wrong, just return
-EUCLEAN to inform the caller.
