Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 4/4] tracing/uprobes: Remove unwanted initialization in
 __trace_uprobe_create()

From: Gautam Menghani <gautammenghani201@...il.com>

Remove the unwanted initialization of variable 'ret'. This fixes the clang
scan warning: Value stored to 'ret' is never read [deadcode.DeadStores]
