From: "Darrick J. Wong" <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx>
When we made the shmem_reserve_inode call in shmem_link conditional, we
forgot to update the declaration for ret so that it always has a known
value. Dan Carpenter pointed out this deficiency in the original patch.
Fixes: 1062af920c07 ("tmpfs: fix link accounting when a tmpfile is linked in")
