The variable ret is being assigned a value that is never read, the
following break statement exits the loop where ret is being re-assigned
a new value. Remove the redundant assignment.

Right, the function is currently a little messy as there is no variable 
for "total", and we re-assign ret per loop.

So I think that we can either:
a. introduce a variable to hold "total"
b. this change:

        }
        ret = num * sdebug_sector_size;
+out_unlock:
        sdeb_data_unlock(sip, atomic);


Maybe a. is better, as b. is maintaining some messiness.

Thanks,
John
