Subject: [PATCH 06/14] RDMA/cxgb4: Return an error code only as a constant in
 stag_open()

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

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

* Adjust jump targets according to the Linux coding style convention.

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