smu_v15_0_8_set_performance_level() error: uninitialized symbol 'ret'.

In this line there is an "if (ret)" condition where "ret" is either
zero or uninitialized. Initialize "ret" at the start of the function to
avoid a potential uninitialized variable bug. But also delete the
condition since it is never true.
