Just return directly instead of break return;

Are you sure this patch is correct?  Theoretically, it's possible to
reach the end of this function without going hitting the
"ret = do_one_cpu(...);" assignment.

Don't be fooled by the "int ret = 0;" initialization, that is a trick
initialization to mislead the unwary.  By the end of the do while loop
then "ret" is always -1.
