Subject: [PATCH] usb: misc: usbtest: remove redundant check on retval < 0

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The check for retval being less than zero is always true since
retval equal to -EPIPE at that point.  Replace the existing
conditional with just return retval.

Detected with CoverityScan, CID#114349 ("Logically dead code")
