Red Hat's covscan checker found the following issue: xfsprogs-6.4.0/io/parent.c:115:2: var_decl: Declaring variable "count" without initializer. xfsprogs-6.4.0/io/parent.c:134:2: uninit_use: Using uninitialized value "count". Currently, jdm_parentpaths() returns EOPNOTSUPP and does not initialize the count variable. The count variable is subsequently used in a for loop, which leads to undefined behavior. Fix this by returning from the check_parents() function immediately after checking the return value of the jdm_parentpaths() function.
