Subject: [PATCH 1/1] mm: mmap: Remove unnecessary local variable

From: Adrian Huang <ahuang12@...ovo.com>

The local variable 'retval' is assigned just for once in __do_sys_brk(),
and the function returns the value of the local variable right after
the assignment. Remove unnecessary assignment and local variable
declaration.
