Subject: [PATCH] crypto: fix error flow of crypto/testmgr.c:test_comp()


Noticed the bug below while running our -Werror x86 randconfig build 
tests against tip/master. Please double check my control flow 
analysis.

this warning:

  crypto/testmgr.c: In function ‘test_comp’:
  crypto/testmgr.c:829: warning: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized in this function

triggers because GCC correctly notices that in the ctcount == 0 &&
dtcount != 0 input condition case this function can return an undefined
value, if the second loop fails.

Remove the shadowed 'ret' variable from the second loop that was probably
unintended.
