Subject: [PATCH 3.16 083/410] RDMA/iwpm: Fix uninitialized error code in
 iwpm_send_mapinfo()

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

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

From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@...ux-m68k.org>

commit 302d6424e4a293a5761997e6c9fc3dfb1e4c355f upstream.

With gcc-4.1.2:

    drivers/infiniband/core/iwpm_util.c: In function ‘iwpm_send_mapinfo’:
    drivers/infiniband/core/iwpm_util.c:647: warning: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized in this function

Indeed, if nl_client is not found in any of the scanned has buckets, ret
will be used uninitialized.

Preinitialize ret to -EINVAL to fix this.
