Subject: [PATCH][staging-next] ncpfs: remove redundant cast of struct ncp_inode_info

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

Casting a value returned by memory an allocation function is
not required and can be removed. Also add in a newline after before
the first statement. Code clean up as suggested by coccinelle.
