Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: Fix -EIO error code that is never returned

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

Currently the error -EIO is being assinged to variable ret when
the READY_BIT is not set but the function iwlagn_mac_start returns
0 rather than ret. Fix this by returning ret instead of 0.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
Fixes: 7335613ae27a ("iwlwifi: move all mac80211 related functions to one place")
