If you arrived here, it means ret is already 0, otherwise you would have 
jumped to label out:, so you can also remove that ret = 0 setting.

And while you are at it, there is no point in a goto to just a return, 
just return instead of the goto, and then you can return 0 directly, 
something like:

	ret = spu_acquire(ctx);
	if (ret)
		return ret;

	spu_release(ctx);

	return 0;


That would be a better cleanup.
