Variable ret is being assigned a value that is never read, the variable
is being re-assigned again a few statements later. Remove it.

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

This does not look like the correct fix. This is the intended return value of the function in the case of no errors. So we probably need to introduce a new variable instead so that it doesn't get written over.

Agreed.  Needs to stash that in another local variable and return that value
if ret == 0.

Justin Chen should have been on the CC list...  It's a little late now
because we've kind of figured things out already, but lets add him
anyway.
