Subject: [PATCH 05/16] drbd: Remove redundant check

From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@...bit.com>

Opening a device only succeeds on a primary node, or when explicitly
setting the allow_oos module parameter to allow opening the device
read-only on a secondary node.  There is no other way that a request can
get into drbd_make_request(), so this code cannot trigger.
