Patch to fix issue

If the command `upower -d` is run while a device with no history is
attached, the command can crash with a segfault.

Relevant backtrace when compiled from the master branch (f3706d7) with
debugging:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007ffff76d8444 in g_variant_unref () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0
(gdb) bt
#0  0x00007ffff76d8444 in g_variant_unref () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0

    error=0x0) at up-device.c:484
#2  0x00007ffff7bc192d in up_device_to_text_history (device=0x7ffff0003c70,

#4  0x0000000000401d14 in main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffe748) at up-tool.c:321
(gdb) 

This appears to be caused by the fact that if the call to
'up_device_glue_call_get_history_sync' within the
'up_device_get_history_sync' function fails, the 'gva' variable will be
left uninitialized. The function later tries to call 'g_variant_unref'
on it and fails.

A patch which initializes 'gva' to NULL is attached and resolves the
issue for me. A similar fix may also be needed for the
'up_device_get_statistics_sync' function (which follows the same pattern
of leaving 'gva' uninitialized).
