Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Redundant variable assignments can be merged

When reading kvm code, find the 'r' variable declaration
and then assign the value in kvm_vm_ioctl_get_irqchip and
kvm_vm_ioctl_set_irqchip function, It can be combined into one sentence.

State what the patch does, not what can be done. And "redundant" isn't the right
word to describe this.

Why though? I actually kinda like the existing code.

That said, what about removing the variable entirely? That'd also avoid the
unnecessary call to kvm_pic_update_irq() in set's error path.
