[PATCH] cxl: Fix an error message

'rc' is known to be 0 here.
Initialize 'rc' with the expected error code before using it.

While at it, avoid the affectation of 'rc' in a 'if' to make things more
obvious and linux style.

Fixes: f204e0b8ce ("cxl: Driver code for powernv PCIe based cards for userspace access")
