[PATCH] fast-import: fix a sparse 'NULL pointer' warning

Commit a8dfa11562 ("fast-import: introduce mem_pool type", 2018-03-26) introduces a 'mem_pool' type, along with a file-local global symbol ('fi_mem_poll') which is initialised in its declaration. This causes sparse to issue a warning, thus:

      SP fast-import.c
  fast-import.c:301:40: warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer

In order to suppress the warning, replace the '0' used to initialise the 'mp_block' field (of type 'struct mp_block *') with NULL.

Hi Junio,

This was going to be an email to Jameson, but I wasn't fast enough! :(

This was originally written against the 'pu' branch, but since the 'jm/mem-pool' branch has graduated to 'next', I have rebased on 'next'.

Perhaps this could be squashed into that branch when you re-build the 'next' branch at the beginning of the next cycle?

ATB, Ramsay Jones
