Hi,

The caller of service_announce_del() ignores it's return value.
So the only action on error is the pr_err() call above, and so
with this patch -ENODEV is indeed ignored.

However, I wonder if it would make things clearer to the reader (me?)
if the return type of service_announce_del was updated void. Because
as things stand -ENODEV may be returned, which implies something might
handle that, even though it doe not.

The above notwithstanding, this change looks good to me.
