mana_bpf() has a trailing 'return ret;' after a switch statement whose
every case (XDP_SETUP_PROG and default) already returns unconditionally.
The statement is therefore unreachable and 'ret' is never used.

Remove both. No functional change intended.

v2:
  - reword the commit message: drop the claim that an uninitialized value
    could be returned; every switch case returns unconditionally, so the
    statement is simply unreachable. Describe it as a pure cleanup.
  - drop the Fixes: tag offered during v1 review, per the guidance that
    net-next changes should not carry Fixes: tags.
  - no code changes.
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/DKWZHHOFA1F3.1EL2DMFNGMP0Y@gmail.com/
