Subject: [PATCH 3.4 80/88] xen/p2m: Collapse early_alloc_p2m_middle redundant checks.

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@...cle.com>

commit d5096850b47424fb0f1c6a75b8f7184f7169319a upstream.

At the start of the function we were checking for idx != 0
and bailing out. And later calling extend_brk if idx != 0.

That is unnecessary so remove that checks.
