If SVE is enabled then 'ret' can be assigned the return value of kvm_vcpu_enable_sve() which may be 0 causing future "goto out" sites to erroneously return 0 on failure rather than -EINVAL as expected. Remove the initialisation of 'ret' and make setting the return value explicit to avoid this situation in the future.
