Subject: [PATCH 4.10 102/129] staging: lustre: ptlrpc: avoid warning on missing return

4.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

commit 74e3bb75315ce62a4567f2871276bab32802e8b4 upstream.

The newly added function triggers a harmless warning:

drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/ptlrpc/pack_generic.c: In function 'lustre_shrink_msg':
drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/ptlrpc/pack_generic.c:472:1: error: control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror=return-type]

This probably happens because LASSERTF() contains an 'unlikely()' that
sometimes prevents gcc from analysing the control flow correctly.
Adding a return statement here seems harmless and lets us keep that
unlikely().
