[PATCH] net : Remove unnecessary assignments

[Balakumaran Kannan <kumaran.4353@gmail.com>]

Remove unnecessary assignments

Signed-off-by: Balakumaran Kannan <kumaran.4353@gmail.com>
---
Some unnecessary assignments has been removed from devinet_ioctl function.
The 'ret' variable is set in multiple places, but used only based on if
conditions. So keeping the assignment inside if will be a better.

Patch is prepared for Linux-3.14-rc7 kernel.
