Description

While compiling the project, I was getting the error bellow. Whenever Mode wasn't ClearSharedBit, the Status variable was uninitialized but being used by the DEBUG call. This patch initializes Status with EFI_SUCCESS to address the problem.

./OvmfPkg/Library/BaseMemEncryptTdxLib/MemoryEncryption.c:592:7: error: variable 'Status' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
  if (Mode == ClearSharedBit) {

I think this was never caught before because the project needs to be compiled with DEBUG_VERBOSE for the error to show up.

This patch initializes the Status variable with EFI_SUCCESS to address
the following error when compiling the project with DEBUG_VERBOSE
enabled.

./OvmfPkg/Library/BaseMemEncryptTdxLib/MemoryEncryption.c:592:7: error: variable 'Status' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]

    Status
    ^~~~~~

      _DEBUGLIB_DEBUG (Expression);       \

                                      ^
                                       = 0

Shouldn't we just remove status from the DEBUG message?

According to the logic, I feel the Status can only be SUCCESS. It seems not meaningful to dump it.
