Subject: [PATCH 5.16 054/126] ALSA: usb-audio: initialize variables that could ignore errors

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

commit 3da4b7403db87d39bc2613cfd790de1de99a70ab upstream.

clang static analysis reports this representative issue
mixer.c:1548:35: warning: Assigned value is garbage or undefined
        ucontrol->value.integer.value[0] = val;
                                         ^ ~~~

The filter_error() macro allows errors to be ignored.
If errors can be ignored, initialize variables
so garbage will not be used.
