Fix Smatch-detected error: drivers/block/floppy.c:3569 fd_locked_ioctl() error: uninitialized symbol 'outparam'. Smatch may incorrectly warn about uninitialized use of 'outparam' in fd_locked_ioctl(), even though all _IOC_READ commands guarantee its initialization. Initialize outparam to NULL to make this explicit and suppress the false positive.
