[PATCH linux-next] mm: fix used but uninitialized variable

[Zhouyi Zhou <zhouzhouyi@gmail.com>]

In function walk_hugetlb_range, the local variable err may
be used uninitialzed when:
ops->pte_hole in side of "else if (ops->pte_hole)" is false.

Dear mm Developers:

When I build kernel using "make CC=clang-14"
the compiler complains following:

CC      mm/pagewalk.o
mm/pagewalk.c:318:12: error: variable 'err' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
                else if (ops->pte_hole)
                         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
mm/pagewalk.c:321:7: note: uninitialized use occurs here
                if (err)
                    ^~~
mm/pagewalk.c:318:8: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true
                else if (ops->pte_hole)
                     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
mm/pagewalk.c:311:10: note: initialize the variable 'err' to silence this warning
                int err;
                       ^
                        = 0
1 error generated.
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:250: mm/pagewalk.o] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:2006: mm] Error 2

I initialize that variable outside of the for loop because we can assign 0 to err
only once in this function.

After my fix, I can compile the kernel. 

Many Thanks
Zhouyi
