[PATCH 11/19] regmap: avoid undefined return from regmap_read_debugfs

Gcc warns about the case where regmap_read_debugfs tries
to walk an empty map->debugfs_off_cache list, which results
in uninitialized variable getting returned.

Setting this variable to 0 first avoids the warning and
the potentially undefined value.

Without this patch, building mxs_defconfig results in:

drivers/base/regmap/regmap-debugfs.c: In function 'regmap_read_debugfs':
drivers/base/regmap/regmap-debugfs.c:147:9: : warning: 'ret' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
