Bug Ref: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8368606

As part of [JDK-8344057](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8344057) ("Remove doPrivileged calls from unix platform sources in the java.desktop module"), changes were made to execCmd() in
 `src/java.desktop/unix/classes/sun/print/PrintServiceLookupProvider.java`.
In the updated implementation, execCmd(...) code is missing to initialize the results variable. It declares it as null and then tries to results.add(line), which prevents the results list from being populated with printer names.

Initializing the results variable will resolve the issue.
