[PATCH] Fix uninitialized variable & error reporting in LXC veth setup

["Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@xxxxxxxxxx>]

THe veth setup in LXC had a couple of flaws, first brInit did
not report any error when it failed. Second vethCreate() did
not correctly initialize the variable containing the return
code, so could report failure even when it succeeded.

* src/lxc/lxc_driver.c: Report error when brInit fails
* src/lxc/veth.c: Fix uninitialized variable
