In the case where rc is equal to EOPNOTSUPP it is being reassigned a new value of zero that is never read. The following continue statement loops back to the next iteration of the lsm_for_each_hook loop and rc is being re-assigned a new value from the call to getselfattr. The assignment is redundant and can be removed.
