[PATCH v2] staging: binder: fix usage of uninit scalar in binder_transaction()

From: Christian Engelmayer
Date: Wed May 07 2014 - 15:55:21 EST


Fix the error path when a cookie mismatch is detected. In that case the
function jumps to the exit label without setting the uninitialized, local
variable 'return_error'. Detected by Coverity - CID 201453.
