[PATCH] netfilter: ip_tables: remove useless variable assignment in get_info()

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva
Date: Mon Jun 26 2017 - 18:35:16 EST


Value assigned to variable _ret_ at line 970 is overwritten either at
line 986 or 988, before it can be used. This makes such variable
assignment useless.
