x86/xen/msr: Fix uninitialized variable 'err'

xen_read_msr_safe() currently passes an uninitialized argument 'err' to
xen_do_read_msr(). But as xen_do_read_msr() may not set the argument,
xen_read_msr_safe() could return err with an unpredictable value.

To ensure correctness, initialize err to 0 (representing success)
in xen_read_msr_safe().

Do the same in xen_read_msr(), even err is not used after being passed
to xen_do_read_msr().
