[PATCH] NFS: Remove dead code from nfs_fs_mount()

[Jesper Juhl]

In fs/nfs/super.c::nfs_fs_mount() we test for a NULL 'data':

...
 		if (data == NULL || mntfh == NULL)
 			goto out_free_fh;
...

and then further down in the function we test 'data' again:

...
 			nfs_fscache_get_super_cookie(
 				s, data ? data->fscache_uniq : NULL, NULL);
...

this second check is just dead code since there is no way 'data' could 
possibly be NULL here.
We also rely on a non-NULL 'data' in more than one location between these 
two tests, further proving the point that the second test is bogus.

This patch removes the dead code.
