Subject: [PATCH] unlz4: always set an error return code on failures

"ret", being set to -1 early on, gets cleared by the first invocation
of lz4_decompress()/lz4_decompress_unknownoutputsize(), and hence
subsequent failures wouldn't be noticed by the caller without setting
it back to -1 right after those calls.
