Subject: [PATCH] block: Remove redundant initialization of variable ret
Git-commit: af22fef3e7a51cbd339814a0e196086e2bb2aa26
Patch-mainline: v5.17-rc1
References: jsc#PED-1183

The variable ret is being initialized with a value that is never
read, it is being updated later on. The assignment is redundant and
can be removed.
