[PATCH] crypto: qce - Remove return variable and unused assignments

[PATCH] crypto: qce - Remove return variable and unused assignments

[Thorsten Blum]

In qce_aead_done(), the return variable 'ret' is no longer used - remove
it. And qce_aead_prepare_dst_buf() jumps directly to 'dst_tbl_free:' on
error and returns 'sg' - drop the useless 'ret' assignments.

This could be made much better with a DEFINE_FREE()

I'm not sure this would be an improvement given that 'sg' points into
'rctx->dst_tbl', which is intentionally kept alive after this function.

Thanks,
