BUG/MINOR: hlua: fix invalid errmsg use in hlua_init()

errmsg is used with memprintf and friends, thus it must be NULL
initialized before being passed to memprintf, else invalid read will
occur.

However in hlua_init() the errmsg value isn't initialized, let's fix that

This is really minor because it would only cause issue on error paths,
yet it may be backported to all stable versions, just in case.
