The return value of iommu_enable() is unconditionally stored in err before the
try_module_get() call, so that code patch is buggy anyway and should be fixed.
I would still remove the initialization at declaration and assign -ENODEV to
err explicitly when try_module_get() fails before the goto err_module.
