Subject: [PATCH][next] bpf: devmap: remove redundant assignment of variable drops

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

The variable drops is being assigned a value that is never
read, it is being updated later on. The assignment is redundant and
can be removed.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
