Subject: [PATCH] NFSD: Remove redundant assignment to variable host_err
Date:   Mon, 10 Oct 2022 21:24:23 +0100

Variable host_err is assigned a value that is never read, it is being
re-assigned a value in every different execution path in the following
switch statement. The assignment is redundant and can be removed.

Cleans up clang-scan warning:
warning: Value stored to 'host_err' is never read [deadcode.DeadStores]
