[PATCH v2] platform/x86: drop unneeded assignment in host_control_smi()

From: Yang Li
Date: Wed May 12 2021 - 04:57:12 EST


Making '==' operation with ESM_STATUS_CMD_UNSUCCESSFUL directly
after calling the function inb() is more efficient, so assignment
to 'cmd_status' is redundant.

Eliminate the following clang_analyzer warning:
drivers/platform/x86/dell/dcdbas.c:397:11: warning: Although the value
stored to 'cmd_status' is used in the enclosing expression, the value
is never actually read from 'cmd_status'

No functional change.

Change in v2
--According to Hans's suggestion, store the inb() value into the s8.
