thanks for reporting this. Actually in terms of kernel it's a false positive
(since this function is called at time, when for_each_node() iterates not empty
list), but of course, I'll add ret initialization to silence the compiler.

This should not prevent the review of the patchset, so I'm waiting for people's
comments about it before resending v3.
