What about remove the initialization and assign it in the if branch?
I find it a bit easier to read.

I mean something like this:

--- a/io_uring/io_uring.c
+++ b/io_uring/io_uring.c
@@ -3859,16 +3859,17 @@ SYSCALL_DEFINE4(io_uring_register, unsigned int, fd, unsigned int, opcode,
                 void __user *, arg, unsigned int, nr_args)
  {
         struct io_ring_ctx *ctx;
-       long ret = -EBADF;
+       long ret;
         struct fd f;

         f = fdget(fd);
         if (!f.file)
                 return -EBADF;

-       ret = -EOPNOTSUPP;
-       if (!io_is_uring_fops(f.file))
+       if (!io_is_uring_fops(f.file)) {
+               ret = -EOPNOTSUPP;
                 goto out_fput;
+       }

         ctx = f.file->private_data;


Otherwise remove the initialization, but leave the assignment as it is 
now.

Thanks,
Stefano
