Currently, if vport is zero then then an uninialized return status
in err is returned.  Since the only return status at the end of the
function esw_add_uc_addr is zero for the current set of return paths
we may as well just return 0 rather than err to fix this issue.

I personally prefer initialization of "err" to zero, but this solution
is fine enough too.

Thanks,
