Subject: [PATCH v2] ext4: Remove unused assignments

From: luo penghao <luo.penghao@....com.cn>

The eh assignment in these two places is meaningless, because the
function will goto to merge, which will not use eh.

The clang_analyzer complains as follows:

fs/ext4/extents.c:1988:4 warning:
fs/ext4/extents.c:2016:4 warning:

Value stored to 'eh' is never read

change in v2:

Repair the sending email box
