ret is uninitialized when !drv.

I agree with this change as driver's remove interface can fail.
However, there are other callers to this function, which do not check
the return value.  I suppose there is no impact to the other paths since
you only changed the CPU hotplug path to fail properly, but please
confirm this is the case.  I recommend documenting this change to the
change log.

Thanks,
