[OE-core] [PATCH] rpm: Fix patch to ensure variables aren't used uninitialised

Recent patches were applied which removed a function which set the xx
variable. This means xx can be uninitalised and prerm functions can fail.

This adjusts the patch to ensure the xx value isn't used in such a way.

 We add lots of native stuff into it and scriptlets rely on that.
 
+Also need to remove the xx test later in the function since the
+value could now be used un-initialised.
