Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm64: kvm_reset_vcpu() return code incorrect with SVE

If SVE is enabled then 'ret' can be assigned the return value of
kvm_vcpu_enable_sve() which may be 0 causing future "goto out" sites to
erroneously return 0 on failure rather than -EINVAL as expected.

Remove the initialisation of 'ret' and make setting the return value
explicit to avoid this situation in the future.

Fixes: 9a3cdf26e336 ("KVM: arm64/sve: Allow userspace to enable SVE for vcpus")

The problematic chunk isn't visible in the diff, so reproduced here:

	if (!kvm_arm_vcpu_sve_finalized(vcpu)) {
		if (test_bit(KVM_ARM_VCPU_SVE, vcpu->arch.features)) {
			ret = kvm_vcpu_enable_sve(vcpu);
			if (ret)
				goto out;
		}
	} else {
		kvm_vcpu_reset_sve(vcpu);
	}
