Subject: [PATCH] afs: remove redundant assignment to variable ret

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

The variable ret is being assigned a value however this is never
read and later it is being reassigned to a new value. The assignment
is redundant and hence can be removed.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused Value")
