[PATCH] file: remove redundant assignment to variable err

From: Colin King
Date: Fri Dec 04 2020 - 12:56:44 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The variable err is being initialized with a value that is never read
and it is being updated later with a new value. The initialization is
redundant and can be removed.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
