Subject: [PATCH 3.2 111/147] pkt_sched: Fix warning false positives.

3.2.95-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net>

commit f54ba7798848ce1385a71b36a2c997422c82220a upstream.

GCC refuses to recognize that all error control flows do in fact
set err to something.

Add an explicit initialization to shut it up.

net/sched/sch_drr.c: In function ‘drr_enqueue’:
net/sched/sch_drr.c:359:11: warning: ‘err’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
net/sched/sch_qfq.c: In function ‘qfq_enqueue’:
net/sched/sch_qfq.c:885:11: warning: ‘err’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
