It seems like fs-convert-fs-shrinkers-to-new-scan-count-api-fix is carrying
this needless chunk above:

Which is masking the "ret" at the start, leading to warnings at build-time:

fs/ext4/extents_status.c: In function â__ext4_es_shrinkâ:
fs/ext4/extents_status.c:950:6: warning: unused variable âretâ [-Wunused-variable]
