[PATCH 5.15 716/846] ext4: initialize err_blk before calling __ext4_get_inode_loc

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Harshad Shirwadkar <harshadshirwadkar@xxxxxxxxx>

commit c27c29c6af4f3f4ce925a2111c256733c5a5b430 upstream.

It is not guaranteed that __ext4_get_inode_loc will definitely set
err_blk pointer when it returns EIO. To avoid using uninitialized
variables, let's first set err_blk to 0.
