ip_frag_reasm() can return uninitialized variable

[Adrian Bunk]

Since commit 1706d58763c36133d7fce6cc78b1444fd40db28c ip_frag_reasm() 
can return the value of an uninitialized variable:

...
static int ip_frag_reasm(struct ipq *qp, struct sk_buff *prev,
                         struct net_device *dev)
{
        struct iphdr *iph;
        struct sk_buff *fp, *head = qp->q.fragments;
        int len;
        int ihlen;
        int err;

        ipq_kill(qp);

        /* Make the one we just received the head. */
        if (prev) {
                head = prev->next;
                fp = skb_clone(head, GFP_ATOMIC);

                if (!fp)
                        goto out_nomem;
...
out_nomem:
        LIMIT_NETDEBUG(KERN_ERR "IP: queue_glue: no memory for gluing "
                              "queue %p\n", qp);
        goto out_fail;
...
out_fail:
        IP_INC_STATS_BH(IPSTATS_MIB_REASMFAILS);
        return err;
}
...
