[Proposed Fix] daemon.c: not initializing revents

[Randall S. Becker]

Hi All,

I found this while trying to track down a hang in t5562 - this isn't the
fix, but here it is something that could be considered a code-inspection. If
there have been random unexplained hangs when git runs as a daemon, this
might be the cause.

According to many systems (other than Linux), the revents field is supposed
to be 0 on return to poll(). This was the cause of some heart-ache a while
back in compat/poll/poll.c. I am not certain whether that copy of poll() is
used in daemon, but I wanted to point out that the value is being returned
to poll, outside of compat/poll/poll.c and may present a potential for poll
returning an error on that FD due to random values that might be in revents.

Please see 61b2a1acaae for a related change/justification.
