Subject: [PATCH][next] ACPI: scan: ensure ret is initialized to avoid garbage being returned

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

In the unlikely event that there are no callback calls made then ret
will be returned as an uninitialized value. Clean up static analysis
warnings by ensuring ret is initialized.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Uninitialized scalar variable")
Fixes: a9e10e587304 ("ACPI: scan: Extend acpi_walk_dep_device_list()")
