In the only two cases that care about the return value of
dec_rlimit_ucounts the code first tests to see that ucounts is not
NULL.  In those cases it is guaranteed at least one iteration of the
loop will execute guaranteeing the variable new will be initialized.

Initialize new to -1 so that the return value is well defined even
when the loop does not execute and the static checker is silenced.
