Subject: [PATCH 1/2] xfs: scrub: avoid uninitialized return code

The newly added xfs_scrub_da_btree_block() function has one code path
that returns the 'error' variable without initializing it first, as
shown by this compiler warning:

fs/xfs/scrub/dabtree.c: In function 'xfs_scrub_da_btree_block':
fs/xfs/scrub/dabtree.c:462:9: error: 'error' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

Returning -EINVAL might be an appropriate return code in this case.

Fixes: 7c4a07a424c1 ("xfs: scrub directory/attribute btrees")
