[PATCH v2][next] counter: Add default statement to switch() in quad8_function_read()

v2: Add the correct Cc's

Coverity complains of a possible use of an uninitialized variable
in quad8_action_read().

CID 119643 (#1 of 1): Uninitialized scalar variable (UNINIT)
4. uninit_use: Using uninitialized value function.
346 switch (function) {

The call to quad8_function_read() could theoretically return without
assigning a value to '*function', thus causing the use of an
ininitialized variable 'function' in quad8_action_read().

Fix this by adding a default statement to the switch in
quad8_function_read() and returning an error.
