staging: vchiq: fix uninitialized variable copy
Smatch found a local variable that can get copied to another local variable without an initializion in the error case: drivers/staging/vc04_services/interface/vchiq_arm/vchiq_arm.c:1056 vchiq_get_user_ptr() error: uninitialized symbol 'ptr'. This seems harmless, as the function should normally get inlined, with the output directly written or not. In any case, the uninitialized data is never used after get_user() fails. As Dan mentions, it could still trigger an UBSAN runtime error, and it is of course a bad idea to copy uninitialized variables, so just bail out early.
