Subject: [PATCH] lib: Fix return check in 842_compress.c

From: Tanya Agarwal <tanyaagarwal25699@...il.com>

Add missing error handling for add_repeat_template() return value.
Note that this error case is already properly handled later in other
add_repeat_template() function calls.

CID 1309755: (#1 of 1): Unused value (UNUSED_VALUE)
returned_value: Assigning value from add_repeat_template(p, repeat_count)
to ret here, but that stored value is overwritten before it can be used.
