Subject: [PATCH 17/46] selinux: Delete an unnecessary variable assignment in
 filename_trans_read()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 14 Jan 2017 19:02:42 +0100

The local variable "ft" was set to a null pointer despite of an
immediate reassignment.
Thus remove this statement from the beginning of a loop.
