[PATCH net v4] net: usb: sr9700: fix uninitialized variable use in sr_mdio_read

[Ma Ke]

It could lead to error happen because the variable res is not updated if
the call to sr_share_read_word returns an error. In this particular case
error code was returned and res stayed uninitialized. Same issue also
applies to sr_read_reg.

This can be avoided by checking the return value of sr_share_read_word
and sr_read_reg, and propagating the error if the read operation failed.

Found by code review.
