The compiler should be able to deduce this, and I guess newer compilers
do which is why we haven't seen this warning before. I'm fine with doing
this as a cleanup, but I think the commit title should be modified a
bit. It sounds like there might be an issue reading uninitialized data,
which isn't actually true.

Subject: [PATCH io_uring-5.17 v2] io_uring: Clean up a false-positive warning from GCC 9.3.0

From: Alviro Iskandar Setiawan <[email protected]>

In io_recv(), if import_single_range() fails, the @flags variable is
uninitialized, then it will goto out_free.

After the goto, the compiler doesn't know that (ret < min_ret) is
always true, so it thinks the "if ((flags & MSG_WAITALL) ..." path
could be taken.

The complaint comes from gcc-9 (Debian 9.3.0-22) 9.3.0:
```
fs/io_uring.c:5238 io_recvfrom() error: uninitialized symbol 'flags'
```
Fix this by bypassing the @ret and @flags check when
import_single_range() fails.

Reasons:
1. import_single_range() only returns -EFAULT when it fails.
2. At that point, @flags is uninitialized and shouldn't be read.
