Subject: [PATCH 1/1] ceph: do not modify fi->frag in need_reset_readdir()

Commit f3c4ebe65ea1 ("ceph: using hash value to compose dentry offset")
modified "if (fpos_frag(new_pos) != fi->frag)" to "if (fi->frag |=
fpos_frag(new_pos))" in need_reset_readdir(), thus replacing a
comparison operator with an assignment one.

This looks like a typo which is reported by clang when building the
kernel with some warning flags:

    fs/ceph/dir.c:600:22: error: using the result of an assignment as a
    condition without parentheses [-Werror,-Wparentheses]
            } else if (fi->frag |= fpos_frag(new_pos)) {
                       ~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    fs/ceph/dir.c:600:22: note: place parentheses around the assignment
    to silence this warning
            } else if (fi->frag |= fpos_frag(new_pos)) {
                                ^
                       (                             )
    fs/ceph/dir.c:600:22: note: use '!=' to turn this compound
    assignment into an inequality comparison
            } else if (fi->frag |= fpos_frag(new_pos)) {
                                ^~
                                !=
