Subject: [PATCH][linux-next] net/mlx5: Bridge, fix uninitialized variable in mlx5_esw_bridge_port_changeupper()

A recent change removed code that initialized the return code variable 'err'. It
is now possible for mlx5_esw_bridge_port_changeupper() to return an error code
using this uninitialized variable. Fix it by initializing to 0.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Uninitialized scalar variable (UNINIT)")
