Subject: [PATCH] vfscanf: fix use of uninitialized variable

vfscanf() may use the variable 'alloc' uninitialized when taking the branch
introduced by recent commit b287cd745c2243f8e5114331763a5a9813b5f6ee.

Spotted by clang:

../lib/libc/src/stdio/vfscanf.c:80:6: warning: variable 'alloc' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true [-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
        if (!f->rpos) goto input_fail;
            ^~~~~~~~
../lib/libc/src/stdio/vfscanf.c:330:7: note: uninitialized use occurs here
                if (alloc) {
                    ^~~~~
