Arnd Bergmann 662d82cf39 staging: vchiq: fix uninitialized variable copy
Smatch found a local variable that can get copied to another
local variable without an initializion in the error case:

 drivers/staging/vc04_services/interface/vchiq_arm/vchiq_arm.c:1056 vchiq_get_user_ptr() error: uninitialized symbol 'ptr'.

This seems harmless, as the function should normally get inlined, with
the output directly written or not. In any case, the uninitialized data
is never used after get_user() fails.

As Dan mentions, it could still trigger an UBSAN runtime error, and it
is of course a bad idea to copy uninitialized variables, so just
bail out early.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
