Subject: [PATCH] nvme: Ensure ret is always initialized in

Clang warns:

  drivers/nvme/host/ioctl.c:674:6: error: variable 'ret' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
          if (ns)
              ^~
  drivers/nvme/host/ioctl.c:677:9: note: uninitialized use occurs here
          return ret;
                 ^~~
  drivers/nvme/host/ioctl.c:674:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true
          if (ns)
          ^~~~~~~
  drivers/nvme/host/ioctl.c:672:9: note: initialize the variable 'ret' to silence this warning
          int ret;
                 ^
                  = 0
  1 error generated.

Initialize ret to zero so that it cannot be used uninitialized.

Or alternatively, remove the 'if (ns)' if ns can never be NULL; I tried
going down the rabbit hole to see if that is possible but I got a little
lost :^)
