[PATCH 2/4] KVM: arm64: Fix kvm_reset_vcpu() return code being incorrect with SVE

Marc Zyngier maz at kernel.org

From: Steven Price <steven.price at arm.com>

If SVE is enabled then 'ret' can be assigned the return value of
kvm_vcpu_enable_sve() which may be 0 causing future "goto out" sites to
erroneously return 0 on failure rather than -EINVAL as expected.

Remove the initialisation of 'ret' and make setting the return value
explicit to avoid this situation in the future.

Fixes: 9a3cdf26e336 ("KVM: arm64/sve: Allow userspace to enable SVE for vcpus")
