Subject: [PATCH v3] crypto: ccp: initialize 'error' variable to zero

Clang static analysis reports this problem
drivers/crypto/ccp/sev-dev.c:1347:3: warning: 3rd function call
  argument is an uninitialized value [core.CallAndMessage]
    dev_err(sev->dev, "SEV: failed to INIT error %#x, rc %d\n",
    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

__sev_platform_init_locked() can return without setting the
error parameter, causing the dev_err() to report a garbage
value.

Fixes: 200664d5237f ("crypto: ccp: Add Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) command support")
