Subject: [PATCH] cxl: Fix an error message
Date:   Wed,  5 May 2021 21:38:49 +0200
Message-Id: <fa2b2c9c72335ab4c3d5e6a33415e7f020b1d51b.1620243401.git.christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr>

'rc' is known to be 0 here.
Initialize 'rc' with the expected error code before using it.

While at it, avoid the affectation of 'rc' in a 'if' to make things more
obvious and linux style.

Fixes: f204e0b8ce ("cxl: Driver code for powernv PCIe based cards for userspace access")
