David Howells 19eef1d98e afs: Fix uninit var in afs_alloc_anon_key()
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.

Fixes: d27c712578 ("afs: Fix delayed allocation of a cell's anonymous key")
