rtlwifi: remove redundant assignment to variable err
[ Upstream commit 87431bc1f0f67aa2d23ca1b9682fe54f68549d42 ]
Variable err is assigned -ENODEV followed by an error return path
via label error_out that does not access the variable and returns
with the -ENODEV error return code. The assignment to err is
redundant and can be removed.
