Subject: [PATCH] input: ims-pcu: remove redundant assignment to variable 'error'

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

The variable error is being initialized with a value that is
never read and the -ENOMEM error return is being returned anyhow
by the error exit path to label err_free_mem.  The assignment is
redundant and can be removed.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
