[PATCH] net: airoha: Fix variable shadowing in airoha_ppe_flush_sram_entries()

In airoha_ppe_flush_sram_entries(), the inner "int err" declaration
shadows the outer "err" variable. When airoha_ppe_foe_commit_sram_entry()
fails and the loop breaks, the function returns the outer err which is
always 0, silently swallowing the error.

Remove the inner declaration so the assignment writes to the outer
variable and errors are properly propagated.
