Subject: [PATCH][next] netfilter: synproxy: ensure zero is returned on non-error return path

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

Currently function nf_synproxy_ipv6_init returns an uninitialized
garbage value in variable ret on a successful return.  Fix this by
returning zero on success.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Uninitialized scalar variable")
Fixes: d7f9b2f18eae ("netfilter: synproxy: extract SYNPROXY infrastructure from {ipt, ip6t}_SYNPROXY")
