A bugfix introduced a harmless gcc warning in nfs4_slot_seqid_in_use:

fs/nfs/nfs4session.c:203:54: error: 'cur_seq' may be used uninitialized in this 
function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

gcc is not smart enough to conclude that the IS_ERR/PTR_ERR pair
results in a nonzero return value here. Using PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO()
instead makes this clear to the compiler.

The patch that caused this just came in for v4.8-rc5. As the warning
is now disabled by default and this is harmless, this can probably
get queued for v4.9 instead.

I mentioned earlier that I got the new warning for net-next, but
failed to notice that it had come from mainline instead.
