Subject: [PATCH] include/linux/mm: Initialize an int variable to prevent returning garbage value

Initialize the variable 'ret' to prevent garbage value from being
returned. This Fixes the clang scan warning: Undefined or garbage value
returned to caller [core.uninitialized.UndefReturn]
        return ret;
