[PATCH v2] selftests: uevent filtering: fix return on error in uevent_listener

by Javier Carrasco

The ret variable is used to check function return values and assigning values to it on error has no effect as it is an unused value. The current implementation uses an additional variable (fret) to return the error value, which in this case is unnecessary and lead to the above described misuse. There is no restriction in the current implementation to always return -1 on error and the actual negative error value can be returned safely without storing -1 in a specific variable. Simplify the error checking by using a single variable which always holds the returned value.
