Subject: [PATCH rcu 15/18] rcu: Remove useless "ret" update in rcu_gp_fqs_loop()

From: Liu Song <liu.song11@....com.cn>

Within rcu_gp_fqs_loop(), the "ret" local variable is set to the
return value from swait_event_idle_timeout_exclusive(), but "ret" is
unconditionally overwritten later in the code.  This commit therefore
removes this useless assignment.
