Fix the uninitialized symbol 'count' in the function
afs_deliver_fs_get_capabilities to resolve the error generated
with the smatch tool:
fs/afs/fsclient.c:1704 afs_deliver_fs_get_capabilities() error:
uninitialized symbol 'count'.
The error regarding the uninitialized count symbol in the
afs_deliver_fs_get_capabilities function arises due to the
control flow of the switch statement. Ensure that you
initialize count before its usage to avoid undefined behavior.
If unmarshall skips to cases 2 or 3, count remains
uninitialized and may contain a garbage value. This could lead
to errors flagged by static analysis tools like smatch.
By initializing count to zero, guarantee that it has a defined
value regardless of the control path taken, thereby enhancing
code reliability and preventing potential issues associated
with uninitialized variables.
