[PATCH] xfs: Fix uninitialized return value in xfs_alloc_fix_freelist()

xfs_alloc_fix_freelist() can sometimes jump to out_agbp_relse without
ever setting value of 'error' variable which is then returned. This can
happen e.g. when pag->pagf_init is set but AG is for metadata and we
want to allocate user data.

Fix the problem by initializing 'error' to 0, which is the desired
return value when we decide to skip this group.
