[PATCH] drm/nouveau: usif_ioctl: ensure returns are initialized

From: Colin King

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Various usif_ioctl helper functions do not initialize the
return variable ret and some of the error handling return
paths just return garbage values that were on the stack (or
in a register). I believe that in all the cases, the
initial ret variable should be set to -EINVAL and subsequent
paths through these helper functions set it appropriately
otherwise.

Found via static analysis using cppcheck:

[drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_usif.c:138]:
(error) Uninitialized variable: ret
[drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_usif.c:179]:
(error) Uninitialized variable: ret
[drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_usif.c:202]:
(error) Uninitialized variable: ret
[drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_usif.c:241]:
(error) Uninitialized variable: ret
[drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_usif.c:157]:
(error) Uninitialized variable: ret
[drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_usif.c:288]:
(error) Uninitialized variable: ret
