Subject: [PATCH][next] ext2: remove redundant assignment to variable desc

Variable desc is being assigned a value that is never read, the exit
via label found immeditely returns with no access to desc. The
assignment is redundant and can be removed. Cleans up clang scan
muild warning:

fs/ext2/ialloc.c:297:4: warning: Value stored to 'desc' is never
read [deadcode.DeadStores]
