Subject: [PATCH] intel: i40e: virtchnl: fix incorrect variable assignment

Fix incorrect variable assignment.
Based on line 1511: aq_ret = I40_ERR_PARAM; the correct variable to be
used in this instance is aq_ret instead of ret. Also, variable ret is
updated at line 1602 just before return, so assigning a value to this
variable in this code block is useless.
