Commit 064109db53ec ("NFS: remove redundant code in nfs_file_write()") identifies that filemap_fdatawait_range() will always return 0 and removes a dead error-handling case in nfs_file_write(). With this change however, assigning the return of filemap_fdatawait_range() to the result variable is a dead store. Remove this needless assignment. No functional change. No change in object code.
