Subject: [PATCH 9/9] memstick: Delete an unnecessary check in
 msb_update_block()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 7 Jan 2017 20:21:02 +0100

Further exception handling will only be performed after an error code
was set. Thus remove a redundant check for a local variable at the end.
