sparse-index: fix uninitialized jump

derrickstolee · gitster · commit 4279cb1c6e4e · 2021-05-18T06:29:17.000+09:00
While testing the sparse-index, I verified a test with --valgrind and it
complained about an uninitialized value being used in a jump in the
path_matches_pattern_list() method. The line was this one:

	if (*dtype == DT_UNKNOWN)

In the call stack, the culprit was the initialization of the dtype
variable in convert_to_sparse_rec().
