[PATCH 2/3] MIPS: MT: Move an assignment for the variable "retval" in mipsmt_sys_sched_setaffinity()

[SF Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2017 19:18:37 +0100

A local variable was set to an error code in one case before a concrete
error situation was detected. Thus move the corresponding assignment into
an if branch to indicate a software failure there.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
