[PATCH] afs: remove redundant assignment to variable ret

[Colin King]

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

The variable ret is being assigned a value however this is never
read and later it is being reassigned to a new value. The assignment
is redundant and hence can be removed.

It looks like the ret = acl->size immediately
after the memcpy should be removed as well.

No.

This is the wrong solution.  acl and key need releasing, so the return should
be a goto.

This is also the wrong solution.  See my reply to Colin.

The variable ret is being assigned a value that is never read. The

[PATCH] afs: remove redundant assignment to variable ret

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

The variable ret is being assigned a value that is never read because
the next statment returns from the function. The assignment is redundant
and can be removed.
