xfs: fix missing error check in xfs_rtfree_range



When xfs_rtfind_forw() returns an error, the block is returned
uninitialised.  xfs_rtfree_range() is not checking the error return,
so could be using an uninitialised block number for modifying bitmap
summary info.

The problem was found by gcc when compiling the *userspace* libxfs
code - it is an copy of the kernel code with the exact same bug.
gcc gives an uninitialised variable warning on the userspace code
but not on the kernel code. You gotta love the consistency (Mmmm,
slightly chewy today!).
