Subject: [PATCH] i915: Fix uninitialized variable err

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

In the case where !sg_dma_len(sgl) breaks out of the do-while loop
on the first iteration, error variable err has not been assigned
any value and will contain garbage. Fix this by ensuring err is
initialized to zero.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Uninitialized scalar variable")
Fixes: 204302d90503 ("i915: fix remap_io_sg to verify the pgprot")
