  The err variable may not be set in the call to snp_issue_guest_request,
yet it is unconditionally written back to fw_err if fw_err is non-null.
This is undefined behavior, and currently returns uninitialized kernel
stack memory to user space.

The fw_err argument is better to just pass through to
snp_issue_guest_request, so we do that.

You should include a Fixes: tag.

With that,

Also, you may want to base your other series [1] on this one, since you'll
likely get conflicts if this is applied first.

Thanks,

Let's call this a wash and I'll roll this into that other series then.
By passing through fw_err directly, I get an unsigned long vs unsigned
long long type error (in this v2, mea culpa). So I'll put the rename
and re-typing in the x86 patch before this one.
