[PATCH] NFSD: Remove redundant assignment to variable host_err

From: Colin Ian King
Date: Mon Oct 10 2022 - 16:26:35 EST


Variable host_err is assigned a value that is never read, it is being
re-assigned a value in every different execution path in the following
switch statement. The assignment is redundant and can be removed.

Cleans up clang-scan warning:
warning: Value stored to 'host_err' is never read [deadcode.DeadStores]
