Simplify return logic to avoid unnecessary variable assignment.

This issue was detected using Coccinelle and the following
semantic patch:


Hi,

I need to ask: Where is the improvement? The compiler does not bother
and for the human reader you do not do anything obvious and you
decreased grepability.


The declaration of local variable _retval_ was removed also.
So both, variable declaration and assignment removal are the improvements.

Regarding the greability, I think that depends on the context.

Thanks!
