File grub2-Initialized-initrd_ctx-so-we-don-t-free-a-random-poi.patch of Package grub2

Subject: [PATCH] Initialized initrd_ctx so we don't free a random pointer from
 the stack.

Currently, if "linux" fails, the "goto fail;" in grub_cmd_initrd sends us
into grub_initrd_close() without grub_initrd_init() being called, and thus
it never clears initrd_ctx->components.  grub_initrd_close() then frees that
address, which is stale data from the stack.  If the stack happens to have a
stale *address* there that matches a recent allocation, then you'll get a
double free later.

So initialize the memory up front.
