Subject: net/mlx5e: Do not use err uninitialized in
 mlx5e_rep_add_meta_tunnel_rule()
Patch-mainline: v6.1-rc1
Git-commit: 92f97c00f0ca538fe820c0b18b6f957a69410689
References: jsc#PED-1549

Clang warns:

  drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_rep.c:481:6: error: variable 'err' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
          if (IS_ERR(flow_rule)) {
              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_rep.c:489:9: note: uninitialized use occurs here
          return err;
                ^~~
  drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_rep.c:481:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true
          if (IS_ERR(flow_rule)) {
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_rep.c:474:9: note: initialize the variable 'err' to silence this warning
          int err;
                ^
                  = 0
  1 error generated.

There is little reason to have the 'goto + error variable' construct in
this function. Get rid of it and just return the PTR_ERR value in the if
statement and 0 at the end.
