Drop the unnecessary initialization of the local 'pfn' variable in
hva_to_pfn(). First and foremost, '0' is not an invalid pfn, it's a
perfectly valid pfn on most architectures. I.e. if hva_to_pfn() were to
return an "uninitializd" pfn, it would actually be interpeted as a legal
pfn by most callers.
Second, hva_to_pfn() can't return an uninitialized pfn as hva_to_pfn()
explicitly sets pfn to an error value (or returns an error value directly)
if a helper returns failure, and all helpers set the pfn on success.
The zeroing of 'pfn' was introduced by commit 2fc843117d ("KVM:
reorganize hva_to_pfn"), probably to avoid "uninitialized variable"
warnings on statements that return pfn. However, no compiler seems
to produce them, making the initialization unnecessary.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
