Subject: [PATCH] cw1200: fix bogus maybe-uninitialized warning

On x86, the cw1200 driver produces a rather silly warning about the
possible use of the 'ret' variable without an initialization
presumably after being confused by the architecture specific definition
of WARN_ON:

drivers/net/wireless/st/cw1200/wsm.c: In function ‘wsm_handle_rx’:
drivers/net/wireless/st/cw1200/wsm.c:1457:9: error: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

As the driver just checks the same variable twice here, we can simplify
it by removing the second condition, which makes it more readable and
avoids the warning.
