Subject: [PATCH] locking/ww_mutex: set ret variable on failure

From: Tom Rix <trix@...hat.com>

Building with clang 13 produces this error
test-ww_mutex.c:138:7: error: variable 'ret' is used
  uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true
  [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
                if (!ww_mutex_trylock(&mutex, &ctx)) {
                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On this failure set ret to -EINVAL as is similarly done
in the function.
