Subject: [PATCH 1/2] sfc: fix uninitialized variable use

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

The new efx_bind_neigh() function contains a broken code path when IPV6 is
disabled:

drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/tc_encap_actions.c:144:7: error: variable 'n' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
                if (encap->type & EFX_ENCAP_FLAG_IPV6) {
                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/tc_encap_actions.c:184:8: note: uninitialized use occurs here
                if (!n) {
                     ^
drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/tc_encap_actions.c:144:3: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always false
                if (encap->type & EFX_ENCAP_FLAG_IPV6) {
                ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/tc_encap_actions.c:141:22: note: initialize the variable 'n' to silence this warning
                struct neighbour *n;
                                   ^
                                    = NULL

Change it to use the existing error handling path here.

Fixes: 7e5e7d800011a ("sfc: neighbour lookup for TC encap action offload")
