Commit
6db6e70a17f6 ("wifi: ath12k: Introduce the container for mac80211
hw") added a completely uninitialized use of ret. Prior to that change,
-ENOMEM was returned to the callers of ath12k_mac_allocate() whenever
ath12k_mac_hw_allocate() failed. Assign that value to ret to make sure
it is always initialized when used and clear up the warning.
