Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf probe: Remove redundant checks

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@...hat.com>

While fixing an error propagating problem in f809b25 I added two
redundant checks.

I did that because I didn't expect the checks to be on the while and for
loop condition expression, where they are tested before we run the loop,
where the 'ret' variable is set.

So remove it from there and leave it just after it is actually set,
eliminating unneded tests.
