[PATCH] xfs: removed useless condition in function xfs_attr_node_get

[Andrey Strachuk <strochuk@xxxxxxxxx>]

At line 1561, variable "state" is being compared
with NULL every loop iteration.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
1561	for (i = 0; state != NULL && i < state->path.active; i++) {
1562		xfs_trans_brelse(args->trans, state->path.blk[i].bp);
1563		state->path.blk[i].bp = NULL;
1564	}
-------------------------------------------------------------------

However, it cannot be NULL.

----------------------------------------
1546	state = xfs_da_state_alloc(args);
----------------------------------------

xfs_da_state_alloc calls kmem_cache_zalloc. kmem_cache_zalloc is
called with __GFP_NOFAIL flag and, therefore, it cannot return NULL.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
	struct xfs_da_state *
	xfs_da_state_alloc(
	struct xfs_da_args	*args)
	{
		struct xfs_da_state	*state;

		state = kmem_cache_zalloc(xfs_da_state_cache, GFP_NOFS | __GFP_NOFAIL);
		state->args = args;
		state->mp = args->dp->i_mount;
		return state;
	}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
