Subject: [PATCH][next] io_uring: fix return of an uninitialized variable ret

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

Currently variable ret is not initialized and this value is being
returned at the end of the function io_poll_double_wake.  Since
ret is not being used anywhere else remove it and just return 0.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Uninitialized scalar variable")
Fixes: f6e84af0767f ("io_uring: allow POLL_ADD with double poll_wait() users")
