ion: Make user_ion_handle_put_nolock() a void function
Clang warns:
drivers/staging/android/ion/ion-ioctl.c:71:6: warning: variable 'ret' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
if (--handle->user_ref_count == 0)
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/staging/android/ion/ion-ioctl.c:74:9: note: uninitialized use occurs here
return ret;
^~~
drivers/staging/android/ion/ion-ioctl.c:71:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true
if (--handle->user_ref_count == 0)
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/staging/android/ion/ion-ioctl.c:69:9: note: initialize the variable 'ret' to silence this warning
int ret;
^
= 0
1 warning generated.
The return value of user_ion_handle_put_nolock() is not checked in its
one call site in user_ion_free_nolock() so just make
user_ion_handle_put_nolock() return void to remove the warning.
