Subject: [PATCH] scsi: message: fusion: remove redundant assignment to variable ret

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

The variable ret is being initialized with a value that is never
read and it is being updated later with a new value. The
initialization is redundant and can be removed.  Also move { brace
to the conventional coding style location.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
