Subject: [PATCH][V2] x86/uv: remove redundant check of p == q

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The check for p == q is dead code because the proceeding switch
statements jump to the end of the outer for-loop with continue
statements.  Remove the dead code.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#145071 ("Structurally dead code")
