Bug 31000: HOTFIX. Warn removal: param record_type can be undef

Uninitialized value warning on /tools/export.pl when $record_type is undef

Use of uninitialized value $record_type in string eq
at /home/vagrant/kohaclone/tools/export.pl line 43.

This patch fixes it by working when $record_type is Undef.
The functionality still remains the same but warning doesn't flood
error log.
To reproduce:
1. Go to export data tool page (/tools/export.pl).
2. Check the error log and find the upper mentioned warning,
check the timestamp to ensure that it was added when you loaded the page.
3. Apply the patch.
4. Load the page again, ensure that the same warning doesn't get added
to the log file again.

Hi Slava, should this be 'needs sign-off'?
Comment 4 Slava Shishkin 2022-06-26 16:25:57 UTC
Hi Katrin,
yep, my bad. It should this be 'needs sign-off'.
Thanks :)
