Variable err and n_q_required is set to '-ENOMEM' and '1', but they are
either overwritten or unused later on, so these are redundant assignments
that can be removed.
Clean up the following clang-analyzer warning:
drivers/scsi/advansys.c:11235:2: warning: Value stored to 'err' is never
read [clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores].
drivers/scsi/advansys.c:8091:2: warning: Value stored to 'n_q_required'
is never read [clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores].
drivers/scsi/advansys.c:11484:2: warning: Value stored to 'err' is never
read [clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores].

I don't want to spend any time figuring out if this is a legitimate patch
or not. Please stop running these analysers on this driver, and thank
the University of Minnesota for making me suspicious.

No, the correct way to resolve that particular clang warning is,
free_host:
scsi_host_put(shost);
release_region:
release_region(iop_base, ASC_IOADR_GAP);
- return -ENODEV;
+ return err;
}

No, that would be a behavioural change for the error path.
Moreover, the clang warning you claimed for line 11484 appears to be bogus
with regard to mainline code. You may want to check your checker.
