Subject: [patch] ext4: simplify some code in read_mmp_block()

My static checker complains because it is not necessary to test
"if (*bh)" when we just tested "if (!*bh)" on the lines before.
We can remove the condition and pull everything in one indent level.

Then we have another "if (unlikely(!*bh))" check and the only way that
can be true is if the "if (!buffer_uptodate(*bh))" condition was true so
we can combine them together.
