From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> [ upstream commit 21f965221e7c42609521342403e8fb91b8b3e76e ] If an SQPOLL based ring is newly created and an application issues an io_uring_enter(2) system call on it, then we can return a spurious -EOWNERDEAD error. This happens because there's nothing to submit, and if the caller doesn't specify any other action, the initial error assignment of -EOWNERDEAD never gets overwritten. This causes us to return it directly, even if it isn't valid. Move the error assignment into the actual failure case instead.
