Subject: [PATCH v2] tracing: remove the useless value assignment in test_create_synth_event

From: Kaixu Xia <kaixuxia@...cent.com>

The value of variable ret is overwritten on the delete branch in the
test_create_synth_event() and we care more about the above error than
this delete portion. Remove it.
