[PATCH] afs: Remove redundant assignment to ret

Variable ret is set to -ENOENT and -ENOMEM but this value is never
read as it is overwritten or not used later on, hence it is a
redundant assignment and can be removed.

Cleans up the following clang-analyzer warning:

fs/afs/dir.c:2014:4: warning: Value stored to 'ret' is never read
[clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores].

fs/afs/dir.c:659:2: warning: Value stored to 'ret' is never read
[clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores].
