Subject: [PATCH] cifs: remove redundant return in cifs_creation_time_get

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

There is a redundant return in function cifs_creation_time_get
that appears to be old vestigial code than can be removed. So
remove it.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1361924 ("Structurally dead code")
