Actually the reason this error got introduced in the first place and I
missed it during the review is that the function is doing something
rather counter-intuitive - it's using 'err' variable as a synonym for
'ret'. A better approach would be to simply remove 'err' from that
function. I'm now authoring such a patch, nevertheless the issue still
stands.
