can: softing: softing_main: ensure a consistent return value in error case
Typically, the return value desired for the failure of a function with an
integer return value is a negative integer. In these cases, the return
value is sometimes a negative integer and sometimes 0, due to a subsequent
initialization of the return variable within the loop.
A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is:

//<smpl>
@r exists@

expression e1,e3,e4;
statement S;

... when != ret = e3
when any

... when any
if (\(ret != 0\|ret < 0\|ret > 0\) || ...) { ... return ...; }
... when != ret = e3
when any
*if@p (...)
{
... when != ret = e4
return ret;
}
