> ret is assigned first, so it does not need to initialize the assignment.

* Would a wording approach (like the following) be a bit nicer?

  The variable “ret” will eventually be set to an appropriate value
  a bit later. Thus omit the explicit initialisation at the beginning.

* How do you think about to use the summary phrase
  “Delete an unnecessary initialisation in blkdev_zone_mgmt()”?
