Fix this sparse warning:

  drivers/net/niu.c:8850:2: warning: returning void-valued expression

Signed-off-by: Hannes Eder <redacted>
Can we just fix sparse not to generate this warning?  It's
marginal, at best.  C++ even explicitly defines this as valid
and last time I brought this up Linus even agreed.
Ack, I discussed it with him also and he thought that
they were just fine as they were...
The types match, the function returns void and it is returning a void,
what is the problem?
