Subject: [PATCH io_uring-5.17] io_uring: Fix build error potential reading uninitialized value

From: Alviro Iskandar Setiawan <alviro.iskandar@...il.com>

In io_recv() if import_single_range() fails, the @flags variable is
uninitialized, then it will goto out_free.

After the goto, the compiler doesn't know that (ret < min_ret) is
always true, so it thinks the "if ((flags & MSG_WAITALL) ..."  path
could be taken.

The complaint comes from gcc-9 (Debian 9.3.0-22) 9.3.0:
```
  fs/io_uring.c:5238 io_recvfrom() error: uninitialized symbol 'flags'
```
Fix this by bypassing the @ret and @flags check when
import_single_range() fails.

Reasons:
 1. import_single_range() only returns -EFAULT when it fails.
 2. At that point @flags is uninitialized and shouldn't be read.
