I ran scan-build very crudly on our source files, and there was at least
one real bug so we might as well run it once in a while, in which case
we probably ought to also fix the less important things hence this
series.
In here the first patch is a real fix and the rest is low priority, the
last one is arguably not an improvement and can be discussed (happy to
just move the 0-initializations around to variable declaration which
would also silence scan-build afaict)
Anyway, it can probably all wait until after this merge, sorry for the
timing.

retval from filemap_fdatawrite was immediately overwritten by the
following p9_fid_put: preserve any error in fdatawrite if there
was any first.
This fixes the following scan-build warning:
fs/9p/vfs_dir.c:220:4: warning: Value stored to 'retval' is never read [deadcode.DeadStores]
retval = filemap_fdatawrite(inode->i_mapping);

handle_rerror can dereference the pages pointer, but it is not
necessarily set for small payloads.
In practice these should be filtered out by the size check, but
might as well double-check explicitly.
This fixes the following scan-build warnings:
net/9p/trans_virtio.c:401:24: warning: Dereference of null pointer [core.NullDereference]
memcpy_from_page(to, *pages++, offs, n);
^~~~~~~~

Similarly to the previous patch: offs can be used in handle_rerrors
without initializing on small payloads; in this case handle_rerrors will
not use it because of the size check, but it doesn't hurt to make sure
it is zero to please scan-build.
This fixes the following warning:
net/9p/trans_virtio.c:539:3: warning: 3rd function call argument is an uninitialized value [core.CallAndMessage]
handle_rerror(req, in_hdr_len, offs, in_pages);

Fix the following scan-build warning:
net/9p/trans_virtio.c:504:3: warning: Value stored to 'in' is never read [deadcode.DeadStores]
in += pack_sg_list_p(chan->sg, out + in, VIRTQUEUE_NUM,
^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm honestly not 100% sure about this one; I'm tempted to think we
could (should?) just check the return value of pack_sg_list_p to skip
the in_sgs++ and setting sgs[] if it didn't process anything, but I'm
not sure it should ever happen so this is probably fine as is.
Just removing the assignment at least makes it clear the return value
isn't used, so it's an improvement in terms of readability.

The 9p code for some reason used to initialize variables outside of the
declaration, e.g. instead of just initializing the variable like this:
int retval = 0
We would be doing this:
int retval;
retval = 0;
This is perfectly fine and the compiler will just optimize dead stores
anyway, but scan-build seems to think this is a problem and there are
many of these warnings making the output of scan-build full of such
warnings:
fs/9p/vfs_inode.c:916:2: warning: Value stored to 'retval' is never read [deadcode.DeadStores]
retval = 0;
^ ~
I have no strong opinion here, but if we want to regularly run
scan-build we should fix these just to silence the messages.
I've confirmed these all are indeed ok to remove.

OK, but AFAICS this patch would simply remove all initializations. I would
expect at least a default initialization at variable declaration instead.

Honestly I don't see much value in this warning. Can't we just disable this
warning for 9p code or is this just controllable for the entire project?
Turning variables uninitialized might be fine now, but it also makes the code
error prone for future changes.

Yes, clang doesn't seem to complain about 'int reval = 0' so the patch
can just be updated to do that instead; I just removed them because the
sheer number made it faster to do that.
Happy to drop this last patch for now and rework it when time permits.

Dead stores in itself is a useful warning, it's what found the real bug
where return value was lost in patch 1 of this series, I don't think we
should just disable the warning.
