Christian Marangi 652a86b24c err.h: add INIT_ERR_PTR() macro ...

Add INIT_ERR_PTR() macro to initialize static variables with error
pointers. This might be useful for specific case where there is a static
variable initialized to an error condition and then later set to the
real handle once probe finish/completes.

This is to handle compilation problems like:

error: initializer element is not constant

where ERR_PTR() can't be used.
