[PATCH] time: clocksource-wdtest: Remove unnecessary initialization of variable 'ret'

[Li zeming]

ret is assigned first, so it does not need to initialize the assignment.

This sentence does not make sense. You cannot initialize an

'ret' is always assigned before being checked, so initializing the
variable is not required.
