[alsa-devel] [PATCH 6/7] dmasound_core: Move two assignments for the variable "ret" in state_open()

A local variable was set to an error code in two cases before a concrete
error situation was detected. Thus move the corresponding assignments into
if branches to indicate a software failure there.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
