In the mlx5_pmd_socket_handle function it calls the recvmsg function which returns the number of bytes read. The function assigns this return value into a ret variable defined at the beginning of the function. Similarly in the mlx5_pmd_socket_init function the it calls the socket function which returns a file descriptor for the new socket. The function also assigns this return value into a ret variable defined at the beginning of the function.
In both functions they initialize the variable when defining it, however, in both cases they do not use any ret variable before assigning the return value from the function, so the initialization is unnecessary. Clean the aforementioned unnecessary initializations.
