  Variable retval is being assigned a value that is never read, it is
being re-assigned a new value in both paths of a following if statement.
Remove the assignment.

Cleans up clang-scan warning:
kernel/trace/rv/rv.c:293:2: warning: Value stored to 'retval' is never read [deadcode.DeadStores]
        retval = count;
