5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Joseph Qi [ Upstream commit 525c0edc032b3297d0c1056cf1fa20cf1f9e6184 ] ocfs2_calc_xattr_init() used to read the default ACL off the parent inode itself, so it could return an error from ocfs2_xattr_get_nolock(). Commit bd7c05fb4a47 ("ocfs2: fix circular locking dependency in ocfs2_init_acl()") moved that lookup before the transaction starts and deleted the error path, but left the now vestigial 'int ret = 0' declaration and both 'return ret' statements behind, along with an unreachable error branch in ocfs2_mknod(). Drop the leftover variable and convert the return type to void, so the callee states that it always succeeds and the caller no longer carries a check that can never trigger. No functional change.
