Subject: [PATCH 4/5] cfq-iosched: Move an assignment for the variable "ret" in
 __cfqg_set_weight_device()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>

A local variable was set to an error code before a concrete error situation
was detected. Thus move the corresponding assignment into an if branch
to indicate a software failure there.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
