Variable ret is set to '0' or '-EBUSY', but this value is never read as it is not used later on, hence it is a redundant assignment and can be removed. Clean up the following clang-analyzer warning: net/packet/af_packet.c:3936:4: warning: Value stored to 'ret' is never read [clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores]. net/packet/af_packet.c:3933:4: warning: Value stored to 'ret' is never read [clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores]. No functional change.
