[PATCH] genetlink: Fix uninitialized variable in genl_validate_assign_mc_groups()

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

net/netlink/genetlink.c: In function âgenl_validate_assign_mc_groupsâ:
net/netlink/genetlink.c:217: warning: âerrâ may be used uninitialized in this
function

Commit 2a94fe48f32ccf7321450a2cc07f2b724a444e5b ("genetlink: make multicast
groups const, prevent abuse") split genl_register_mc_group() in multiple
functions, but dropped the initialization of err.

Initialize err to zero to fix this.

Question: Is the for_each_net_rcu() loop in genl_validate_assign_mc_groups()
          guaranteed to loop at least once?
	  If yes, this is a false positive.
