Subject: [PATCH 5.19 1155/1157] powerpc/kexec: Fix build failure from uninitialised variable

From: Russell Currey <ruscur@...sell.cc>

commit 83ee9f23763a432a4077bf20624ee35de87bce99 upstream.

clang 14 won't build because ret is uninitialised and can be returned if
both prop and fdtprop are NULL.  Drop the ret variable and return an
error in that failure case.

Fixes: b1fc44eaa9ba ("pseries/iommu/ddw: Fix kdump to work in absence of ibm,dma-window")
