Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 3/4] tracing/kprobe: Fix uninitialized variable bug

From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" <gustavo@...eddedor.com>

There is a potential execution path in which variable *ret* is returned
without being properly initialized, previously.

Fix this by initializing variable *ret* to 0.
