Commit ce70fd9a551a ("scsi: core: Remove the cmd field from struct scsi_request") refactored sg_io(), so that it does not allocate directly and hence does not return -ENOMEM in its error case. That makes a remaining assignment of -ENOMEM to the return variable needless. Drop this needless assignment in sg_io(). No functional change. No change in resulting object code.
