4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
[ Upstream commit 29b00e609960ae0fcff382f4c7079dd0874a5311 ]
When we made the shmem_reserve_inode call in shmem_link conditional, we forgot to update the declaration for ret so that it always has a known value. Dan Carpenter pointed out this deficiency in the original patch.
