[PATCH 3.16 177/202] tmpfs: fix uninitialized return value in shmem_link

[Ben Hutchings]

3.16.66-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Darrick J. Wong" <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 29b00e609960ae0fcff382f4c7079dd0874a5311 upstream.

When we made the shmem_reserve_inode call in shmem_link conditional, we
forgot to update the declaration for ret so that it always has a known
value.  Dan Carpenter pointed out this deficiency in the original patch.
