Subject: [PATCH] crypto: algif_rng: remove redundant assignment to variable err

From: Colin Ian King <[email protected]>

The variable err is being initialized with a value that is never read
and it is being updated later with a new value. The initialization is
redundant and can be removed.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
