[PATCH] netfs: Ensure ret is always initialized in netfs_begin_read()

From: Nathan Chancellor
Date: Thu Mar 03 2022 - 11:39:09 EST


Clang warns:

fs/netfs/io.c:630:6: error: variable 'ret' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
if (sync) {
^~~~
fs/netfs/io.c:655:9: note: uninitialized use occurs here
return ret;
^~~

There is only one instance of netfs_begin_read() where sync is false and
its return value is not checked so just return 0 in this case, as there
is no return code from another function call to propagate.

Fixes: 33e1e5d53058 ("netfs: Add a function to consolidate beginning a read")
