Subject: [PATCH] PCI: Always initialize dev in pciconfig_read

Clang warns:

drivers/pci/syscall.c:25:6: warning: variable 'dev' is used
uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true
[-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
        if (!capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN))
            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/pci/syscall.c:81:14: note: uninitialized use occurs here
        pci_dev_put(dev);
                    ^~~
drivers/pci/syscall.c:25:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is
always false
        if (!capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN))
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/pci/syscall.c:18:21: note: initialize the variable 'dev' to
silence this warning
        struct pci_dev *dev;
                           ^
                            = NULL
1 warning generated.

pci_dev_put accounts for a NULL pointer so initialize dev to NULL before
the capability check so that there is no use of uninitialized memory.

Fixes: 61a6199787d9 ("PCI: Return ~0 data on pciconfig_read() CAP_SYS_ADMIN failure")
