[PATCH] ath10k: remove redundant error check

From: Colin King <hidden>
Date: 2017-02-28 11:52:21

From: Colin Ian King <redacted>

The check on ret for an error is redundant because it is already been
checked for non-zero earlier on and ret is never non-zero at this point.
Fix this by removing the redundant check and error message.
