Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] module: Avoid unnecessary return value initialization in move_module()

All error conditions in move_module() set the return value by updating the
ret variable. Therefore, it is not necessary to the initialize the variable
when declaring it.

Remove the unnecessary initialization.
