[PATCH 6.17 050/146] afs: Fix uninit var in afs_alloc_anon_key()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

6.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: David Howells <dhowells at redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 19eef1d98eeda3745df35839190b7d4a4adea656 ]

Fix an uninitialised variable (key) in afs_alloc_anon_key() by setting it
to cell->anonymous_key.  Without this change, the error check may return a
false failure with a bad error number.

Most of the time this is unlikely to happen because the first encounter
with afs_alloc_anon_key() will usually be from (auto)mount, for which all
subsequent operations must wait - apart from other (auto)mounts.  Once the
call->anonymous_key is allocated, all further calls to afs_request_key()
will skip the call to afs_alloc_anon_key() for that cell.

Fixes: d27c71257825 ("afs: Fix delayed allocation of a cell's anonymous key")
