staging: r8188eu: fix potential uninitialised variable use in rtw_pwrctrl.c

Set ret to 0 (success) before entering first if statement, thereby
assuring that even if the device is not associated and further checks
pass, we do not then end up returning the uninitialized value of ret.
This assignment is deliberately now directly before the if statement, in
order to keep it clear what is happening as opposed to having it as an
initialization at the start of the function like it was originally.

Also add a comment to make it clear this first if block is currently a
success path. As a side note, smatch does not trigger warnings for this
change, for me at least.

Within core/rtw_pwrctrl.c in the rtw_pwr_wakeup function, I previously
dropped the initialization of 'ret' (int ret = 0;) in favour of its
assignment which happens inside the first if block directly before its
corresponding goto. This was the cause of this bug, and was introduced
by: commit f3a76018dd55 ("staging: r8188eu: remove initializer from ret
in rtw_pwr_wakeup").
