[PATCH] mm/gup.c: Fix uninitialized return value on __gup_longterm_locked()

[PATCH] mm/gup.c: Fix uninitialized return value on __gup_longterm_locked()

[Shigeru Yoshida]

From: Shigeru Yoshida <yshigeru@gmail.com>

In __gup_longterm_locked(), it returns uninitialized value if
__get_user_pages_locked() fails on the first iteration of the loop
since rc is not initialized.

This patch fixes this issue by properly returning error code if
__get_user_pages_locked() fails.

Sorry I didn't catch the 0th loop iteration problem on the 
first review of this. Anyway,
