Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: bridge: remove unneeded variable 'err'

function br_multicast_toggle now always return 0,
so the variable 'err' is unneeded.
Also cleanup dead branch in br_changelink.

That is correct, but in such case just make it void.

In net/bridge/br_sysfs_br.c:

static ssize_t multicast_snooping_store(struct device *d,
struct device_attribute *attr,
const char *buf, size_t len)
{
return store_bridge_parm(d, buf, len, br_multicast_toggle);
}

and store_bridge_parm need the returned err.

That can be worked-around with a set option that returns 0 but it's not that
important.

Fair enough,

Applied.
