Fix an uninitialised variable (key) in afs_alloc_anon_key() by setting it
to cell->anonymous_key. Without this change, the error check may return a
false failure with a bad error number.
Most of the time this is unlikely to happen because the first encounter
with afs_alloc_anon_key() will usually be from (auto)mount, for which all
subsequent operations must wait - apart from other (auto)mounts. Once the
call->anonymous_key is allocated, all further calls to afs_request_key()
will skip the call to afs_alloc_anon_key() for that cell.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
