lguest: explicitly set miscdevice's private_data NULL
There is a proposed change to the miscdevice's behaviour on open(). Currently
file->private_data stays NULL, but only because we don't have an open-entry in
struct file_operations.
This may change so that private_data, more consistently, is always set to
struct miscdevice, not only *if* the driver has it's own open() routine and
fops-entry, see https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/12/4/939 and commit
94e4fe2cab3d43b3ba7c3f721743006a8c9d913a
In short: If we rely on file->private_data being NULL, we should ensure
it is NULL ourselves.
