Subject[PATCH] x86, vsyscall: Fix build warning in vsyscall_64.c
From
Date
Due to commit 5cec93c216db77 (x86-64: Emulate legacy vsyscalls), we get the following warning:

arch/x86/kernel/vsyscall_64.c: In function ‘do_emulate_vsyscall’:
arch/x86/kernel/vsyscall_64.c:111:7: warning: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized in this function

The uninitialized value of 'ret' maybe gets assigned to regs->ax. So, initialize it with -EINVAL.
