MIPS/BFD: Initialize error_message' in _bfd_mips_elf_orphan_shr16_reloc'

There is no value assigned in `_bfd_mips_elf_generic_reloc' via the
`error_message' parameter and consequently the original `error_message'
variable in `_bfd_mips_elf_orphan_shr16_reloc' remains uninitialized in
the error case, which newer versions of GCC can correctly diagnose:

In function '_bfd_mips_elf_orphan_shr16_reloc',
    inlined from 'mips_elf_free_hi16_list' at ../../binutils-gdb/bfd/elfxx-mips.c:13309:12:

cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

Fix the problem by preinitializing the variable to NULL as at other
places.
