[patch] dax: silence an uninitialized variable warning

[patch] dax: silence an uninitialized variable warning

[Dan Carpenter]

I'm not positive, but it looks like it might be possible to reach the
end of this function and return an uninitialized value for "rc".  Anyway
it causes a static checker warning and let's silence it.

The warning was introduced in commit b2e0d1625e19 ('dax: fix lifetime of
in-kernel dax mappings with dax_map_atomic()').

Looks good to me.
