When qtnf_trans_send_cmd_with_resp() fails, we have not yet initialized
'resp', as pointed out by a valid gcc warning:

drivers/net/wireless/quantenna/qtnfmac/commands.c: In function 'qtnf_cmd_send_with_reply':
drivers/net/wireless/quantenna/qtnfmac/commands.c:133:54: error: 'resp' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

Since 'resp_skb' is also not set here, we can skip all further
processing and just print the warning and return the failure code.

Fixes: c6ed298ffe09 ("qtnfmac: cleanup and unify command error handling")

Thanks for the patch! And for reminding me that I forgot to enable
gcc warnings in CI builds in addition to sparse checks.

Hi Kalle,

Could you please hold back applying this patch for now. We have got
another report for the same function, this time static analysis tool
warning. It looks like the patch from Arnd does not cover both cases.
So we will take a closer look and send a combined fix later.

Regards,
Sergey

Ok, I'll drop this from my queue. Please resend whatever patch I need to
apply.
