ravb_close() always returns 0, hence the check in ravb_wol_restore() is
pointless (however, we cannot change the prototype of ravb_close() as it
implements the driver's ndo_stop() method).

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the SVACE static
analysis tool.

   Oops, sorry about that!
   This patch was created during the merge window and when it finally closed, I rushed
to send this series before the end of week, and forgot to sanity check it (thinking it
has been checked already)... :-/
   I'll fix and resend...

MBR, Sergey
