xen_read_msr_safe() currently passes an uninitialized argument err to xen_do_read_msr(). But as xen_do_read_msr() may not set the argument, xen_read_msr_safe() could return err with an unpredictable value. To ensure correctness, initialize err to 0 (representing success) in xen_read_msr_safe(). Because xen_read_msr_safe() is essentially a wrapper of xen_do_read_msr(), the latter should be responsible for initializing the value of *err to 0. Thus initialize *err to 0 in xen_do_read_msr().
