Subject: ext4_lazyinit_thread: 'ret' may be used uninitialized in this
 function

Commit bfff68738f1c "ext4: add support for lazy inode table
initialization" added the following build warning:

fs/ext4/super.c: In function 'ext4_lazyinit_thread':
fs/ext4/super.c:2702: warning: 'ret' may be used uninitialized in this function

This warning is due to an actual bug.  But I don't know what the fix is.
