[PATCH] powerpc/kexec: Fix build failure from uninitialised variable

clang 14 won't build because ret is uninitialised and can be returned if
both prop and fdtprop are NULL.

Not sure what should be returned here, EINVAL seemed reasonable for a
passed property not existing.

Also, damn it Alexey, I mentioned this in my review:

Consider yourself lucky I'm no longer your dictator (if you don't already)
