Subject: RDMA/iwpm: Remove redundant initialization of pointer err_str
Patch-mainline: v5.16-rc1
Git-commit: 4bd46f3a986db97fdb67b05a6b379499fce179ea
References: jsc#SLE-19249

The pointer err_str is being initialized with a value that is never read,
it is being updated later on. The assignment is redundant and can be
removed.
