I had stumbled upon this as I was doing some changes to this function,
and needed to understand the code flow. Definitely 'ret 0' would have
made it  immediately clear that all the code between the last 'if (ret)
return ret;' and the final 'return ret' is not allowed to fail.

I think this change would (slightly, but still) improve future readers'
life.
