Subject: [PATCH 05/06][RESEND] Fix compilation warning for arch/x86/kernel/apm_32.c

The following fix was initially inspired by David Howells fix few days back:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/9/109,

However, Ingo disapproves such fixes as it's dangerous - in something as
performance-uncritical. So, initialize 'err' to '0' to work around a GCC false 
positive warning:
