[Patch, MIPS] Fix uninitialized variable in inet/getnetgrent_r.c


I got seven build failures on MIPS using the new -Werror flag.  Here is a fix
for one of the build failures.  I did get a good build with all these fixes but
I haven't done a complete testsuite run with these fixes.  I hoping that this
fix is simple enough that building is a sufficient test.

The failure was:

getnetgrent_r.c: In function '__internal_getnetgrent_r':
getnetgrent_r.c:298:14: error: 'fct' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
       status = DL_CALL_FCT (*fct, (datap, buffer, buflen, &errno));
              ^
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors


I looked at the code and I don't think we can actually use an uninitialized
fct variable (due to the use of the no_more variable) but the compiler doesn't
seem to be able to figure that out.  This fix is to just initialize fct to
NULL.

OK to checkin?
