Subject: [PATCH] arm_pmu: fix compiler warning in arm_pmu_device_probe

GCC warns

  arm_pmu_platform.c:234:5: error: 'err' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

This is because we rely on the for_each_cpu loop in armpmu_request_irqs
to initialise err. The warning is a little bogus because we know if
there were 0 CPUs this code would not be running.

Initialise err to 0 to avoid the warning.

This has been reported before in https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/5/508 I'm not
sure if it was dismmissed as "meh, gcc is wrong" or if it was just wainting for
someone with some round tuits.
