Subject: [PATCH] [media] cx18: remove redundant zero check on retval

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

The check for a zero retval is redundant as all paths that lead to
this point have set retval to an error return value that is non-zero.
Remove the redundant check.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#102589 ("Logically dead code")
