[PATCH] CPU: Avoid using unititialized error variable in disable_nonboot_cpus()

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@xxxxxxx>

If there's only one CPU online when disable_nonboot_cpus() is called,
the error variable will not be initialized and that may lead to
erroneous behavior.  Fix this issue by initializing error in
disable_nonboot_cpus() as appropriate.
