Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] mmc: block: Initialize ret in mmc_blk_issue_drv_op() for MMC_DRV_OP_IOCTL

With gcc 4.1.2:

    drivers/mmc/core/block.c: In function ‘mmc_blk_issue_drv_op’:
    drivers/mmc/core/block.c:1178: warning: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized in this function

Indeed, for MMC_DRV_OP_IOCTL, if mq_rq->ioc_count is zero, an
uninitialized value will be stored in mq_rq->drv_op_result and passed to
blk_end_request_all().

Can mq_rq->ioc_count be zero?
  - mmc_blk_ioctl_cmd() sets ioc_count to 1, so this is safe,
  - mmc_blk_ioctl_multi_cmd() obtains ioc_count from user space in
    response to the MMC_IOC_MULTI_CMD ioctl, and does allow zero.

Initialize ret to zero to fix this for current and future callers.

v2, as suggested by Arnd:
  - Move the assignment after "case MMC_DRV_OP_IOCTL", to keep getting
    compile-time checks on the state of the 'ret' variable,
  - Initialize ret to zero instead of -EINVAL.
