[PATCH 1/4 V2] VMCI: Remove redundant error check and code cleanup

From: Peter Senna Tschudin
Date: Sat May 17 2014 - 17:21:03 EST


Remove double checks, and move the call to pr_devel. Remove the
initialization of the result variable, and return VMCI_SUCCESS on
success. Fix the condition of the for loop. Replace break with a
return. The simplified version of the coccinelle semantic patch
that find the redundant check issue is as follows:

// <smpl>
@@
expression E; identifier pr; expression list es;
@@
for(...;...;...){
...
- if (E) break;
+ if (E){
+ pr(es);
+ break;
+ }
...
}
- if(E) pr(es);
// </smpl>

Tested by compilation only.
