netfs: Fix potential uninitialised var in netfs_extract_user_iter()

Browse Source 
In netfs_extract_user_iter(), if it's given a zero-length iterator, it will
fall through the loop without setting ret, and so the error handling
behaviour will be undefined, depending on whether ret happens to be
negative.  The value of ret then propagates back up the callstack.

Fix this by presetting ret to 0.
