sysctl: fix uninitialized variable in proc_do_large_bitmap 

proc_do_large_bitmap() does not initialize variable c, which is expected
to be set to a trailing character by proc_get_long().

However, proc_get_long() only sets c when the input buffer contains a
trailing character after the parsed value.

If c is not initialized it may happen to contain a '-'. If this is the
case proc_do_large_bitmap() expects to be able to parse a second part of
the input buffer. If there is no second part an unjustified -EINVAL will
be returned.

Initialize c to 0 to prevent returning -EINVAL on valid input.
