[PATCH] netfilter: synproxy: fix nf_synproxy_ipv{4,6}_init() return code

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Date: 2019-06-19 12:53:33

We return an uninitialized variable on success:

net/netfilter/nf_synproxy_core.c:793:6: error: variable 'err' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
        if (snet->hook_ref4 == 0) {
            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Initialize the return code to zero first.

Thanks Arnd. We got a fix for this:
