Subject: [PATCH 08/11] NFS: __nfs_revalidate_inode() can use "inode" before
	checking it is non-NULL

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@...cle.com>

The "!inode" check in __nfs_revalidate_inode() occurs well after the first
time it is dereferenced, so get rid of it.

Coverity: #cid 1372, 1373

Test plan:
Code review; recheck with Coverity.
