Subject: [PATCH][next] orangefs: remove redundant code

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

The check of inode->i_state & I_DIRTY_PAGES is redundant as it
just does the same actions as the following code when the condition
is false.  Although it shows the intention of what to do when
I_DIRTY_PAGES is set I think removing the redunant check is preferable.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Identical code for different branches")
