Initialize some local variables earlier

Move the initialization of these variables to the beginning of their
respective functions.

On our end this creates a small amount of unneeded churn, as these
variables are properly initialized before their first use in all cases.
However, changing this benefits at least one downstream consumer
(NetApp) by allowing local and future modifications to these functions
to be made without worrying about where the initialization occurs.
