restore_pci_variables() and save_pci_variables() return PCIBIOS_ error
codes from PCIe capability accessors.

PCIBIOS_ error codes have positive values. Passing on these values is
inconsistent with functions which return only a negative value on failure.

Before passing on the return value of PCIe capability accessors, call
pcibios_err_to_errno() to convert any positive PCIBIOS_ error codes to
negative generic error values.

Fix redundant initialisation.

Looks like we may have had a problem when calling pci_read_config_dword() from the init dd path and doing a check for < 0 to bail. So this looks like goodness to me.
