Subject: [PATCH 3.16 108/305] qlcnic: fix a return in qlcnic_dcb_get_capability()

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

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

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit c94f026fb742b2d3199422751dbc4f6fc0e753d8 upstream.

These functions are supposed to return one on failure and zero on
success.  Returning a zero here could cause uninitialized variable
bugs in several of the callers.  For example:

    drivers/scsi/cxgbi/cxgb4i/cxgb4i.c:1660 get_iscsi_dcb_priority()
    error: uninitialized symbol 'caps'.
