Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211-wext: deleting dead code

In func cfg80211_wext_siwretry(), the value of changed is getting
modified to non-zero value within if-else condition and it is becoming a non-zero value.
So, the condition "if (!changed)" becomes unreachable.

You didn't use any prefix for the commit message, it's unclear
(Logically DeadCode what?), no description, you touch two code places
at once.

Please fix above problems and resend.
