Subject: [PATCH 1/4] alpha: Return an error code only as a constant in
 osf_sigstack()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2017 10:40:51 +0100

* Return an error code without storing it in an intermediate variable.

* Delete the local variable "error" which became unnecessary with
  this refactoring.
