printk: Clean up do_syslog() error handling
The error variable in do_syslog() is preemptively set to the error code before the error condition is checked, and then set to 0 if the error condition is not encountered. This is not necessary, as it is likely simpler to return immediately upon encountering the error condition. A redundant set of the error variable to 0 is also removed. This patch has been build-tested on x86_64, but not tested for functionality.
