[PATCH] fixup! bootchooser: implement locking of attempts counter

[Ahmad Fatoum]

We have two code paths with goto err that don't set ret beforehand with
the expectation that the default -EINVAL will be used.

ret is now being reused though and thus the -EINVAL is clobbered. In the
worst case, an error ends up with ERR_PTR(ret) == NULL crashing
bootchooser -i when a state prefix is set, but no targets are defined.

Fix this by always initializing ret explicitly.
