Delete unnecessary local variable whose value is always 0 and that hides the fact that the result is always 0.
A simplified version of the semantic patch that fixes this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl> @r exists@ local idexpression ret; expression e; position p; @@
-ret = 0; ... when != ret = e return - ret + 0 ; // </smpl>
