clang static analysis reports this problem

mos7720.c:352:2: warning: Undefined or garbage value returned to caller
        return d;
        ^~~~~~~~

In the parport_mos7715_read_data()'s call to read_mos_reg(), 'd' is
only set after the alloc block.

        buf = kmalloc(1, GFP_KERNEL);
        if (!buf)
                return -ENOMEM;

Although the problem is reported in parport_most7715_read_data(),
none of the callee's of read_mos_reg() check the return status.

So move the clearing of data to before the malloc.
