Subject: [PATCH][next] RDMA/hns: Fix uninitialized variable bug

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

Fix this by initializing variable *ret* to -ENODEV.

Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1491917 ("Uninitialized scalar variable")
Fixes: 2f49de21f3e9 ("RDMA/hns: Optimize mhop get flow for multi-hop addressing")
