[PATCH][next] ALSA: firewire-lib: Fix uninitialized variable err issue

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king at canonical.com>

Currently in the case where the payload_length is less than the
cip_header_size the error return variable err is not being set
and function parse_ir_ctx_header can return an uninitialized
error return value. Fix this by setting err to zero.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Uninitialized scalar variable")
Fixes: c09010eeb373 ("ALSA: firewire-lib: handle the case that empty isochronous packet payload for CIP")
