[PATCH] power: supply: max17042_battery: fix the potential uninitialized use in max17042_write_verify_reg()

[Yizhuo]

In function max17042_write_verify_reg(), variable "read_value"
could be uninitialized if regmap_read() fails. However,
"read_value" is used to decide the control flow later in the if
statement, which is potentially unsafe.
