xfs_fs_geometry() should be a void right now - it doesn't return any
error value at all.

Further, the size of the structure that is filled in is determined
by the version of the ioctl being called, not the xfs_fs_geometry()
function. Hence the caller already knows the size of the structure
being used, and hence does not need xfs_fs_geometry() to tell it
that information.

So I don't think this change is necessary.

Cheers,

Dave.
