in translate_table, the initialized value of 'ret' is unused,
because it will be assigned in the rear. thus remove it.

Thanks,

I agree that ret is always set before it is used in translate_table(),
and thus the initialisation to 0 accompanying the variable declaration
is unnecessary.

ip6_tables is a copy&paste from ip_tables, so it is arp_tables.

I think all of them have the same unnecessary initialization.

Would you still post v2?
