Clang warns:

  mm/pagewalk.c:311:10: note: initialize the variable 'err' to silence this warning

                          = 0
  1 error generated.

Restore the initialization of err to zero so that it cannot be used
uninitialized.

I am sure that SHA is not stable and I expect this to be squashed into
the original change.
