[PATCH] ext4: Remove unreachable code

From: Vinicius Tinti
Date: Fri Jan 29 2021 - 14:01:17 EST


By enabling -Wunreachable-code-aggressive on Clang the following code
paths are unreachable.

Commit dd73b5d5cb67 ("ext4: convert dx_probe() to use the ERR_PTR
convention")
Commit ac27a0ec112a ("[PATCH] ext4: initial copy of files from ext3")

Clang warns:

fs/ext4/namei.c:831:17: warning: code will never be executed
[-Wunreachable-code]
unsigned n = count - 1;
^~~~~
fs/ext4/namei.c:830:7: note: silence by adding parentheses to mark code as
explicitly dead
if (0) { // linear search cross check
^
/* DISABLES CODE */ ( )
