9p: remove dead stores (variable set again without being read)



The 9p code for some reason used to initialize variables outside of the
declaration, e.g. instead of just initializing the variable like this:

int retval = 0

We would be doing this:

int retval;
retval = 0;

This is perfectly fine and the compiler will just optimize dead stores
anyway, but scan-build seems to think this is a problem and there are
many of these warnings making the output of scan-build full of such
warnings:
fs/9p/vfs_inode.c:916:2: warning: Value stored to 'retval' is never read [deadcode.DeadStores]
        retval = 0;
        ^        ~

I have no strong opinion here, but if we want to regularly run
scan-build we should fix these just to silence the messages.

I've confirmed these all are indeed ok to remove.
