[PATCH net] lib: test_objagg: Set error message in check_expect_hints_stats()

[PATCH net] lib: test_objagg: Set error message in check_expect_hints_stats()

[Dan Carpenter]

Smatch complains that the error message isn't set in the caller:

    lib/test_objagg.c:923 test_hints_case2()
    error: uninitialized symbol 'errmsg'.

This static checker warning only showed up after a recent refactoring
but the bug dates back to when the code was originally added.  This
likely doesn't affect anything in real life.

Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/r/202506281403.DsuyHFTZ-lkp@intel.com/
Fixes: 0a020d416d0a ("lib: introduce initial implementation of object aggregation manager")
