fs/stat.c: avoid harmless garbage value problem in vfs_statx_path()
Clang static checker(scan-build) warning: fs/stat.c:287:21: warning: The left expression of the compound assignment is an uninitialized value. The computed value will also be garbage. 287 | stat->result_mask |= STATX_MNT_ID_UNIQUE; | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^ fs/stat.c:290:21: warning: The left expression of the compound assignment is an uninitialized value. The computed value will also be garbage. 290 | stat->result_mask |= STATX_MNT_ID; When vfs_getattr() failed because of security_inode_getattr(), 'stat' is uninitialized. In this case, there is a harmless garbage problem in vfs_statx_path(). It's better to return error directly when vfs_getattr() failed, avoiding garbage value and more clearly.
