I would just do this and leave the rest as it is:

-	if ((c = carp_group_find(group)) == NULL) {
+	if (carp_group_find(group) == NULL) {

If you do want to unindent, then you need to check for != NULL here.
(If a carp group is found, do nothing and succeed, otherwise create a
new one and add it to the carpgroups queue)
