nfs: Fix KMSAN warning in decode_getfattr_attrs()
Fix the following KMSAN warning:

The KMSAN warning is triggered in decode_getfattr_attrs(), when calling decode_attr_mdsthreshold(). It appears that fattr->mdsthreshold is not initialized.
Fix the issue by initializing fattr->mdsthreshold to NULL in nfs_fattr_init().
