From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>
The fallthrough comment for an ignored cmpxchg() return value
produces a harmless warning with 'make W=1':
fs/posix_acl.c: In function 'get_acl':
fs/posix_acl.c:127:36: error: suggest braces around empty body in an 'if' statement [-Werror=empty-body]
127 | /* fall through */ ;
| ^
Simplify it as a step towards a clean W=1 build. As all architectures
define cmpxchg() as a statement expression these days, it is no longer
necessary to evaluate its return code, and the if() can just be droped.
