It's possible to use "err" without initializing it.  If it happens to be
a 2 which is SCSI_DH_RETRY then that could cause a bug.  Bart Van Assche
pointed out that we should probably re-initialize it for every iteration

Although I would have preferred that that initialization would have been closer to the other 'err' assignments this patch looks fine to me. If this patch does not get integrated in kernel v4.6 a "Cc: stable" tag will be needed.
