Subject: [PATCH] orangefs: remove redundant assignment to variable buffer_index

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

The variable buffer_index is being initialized however this is never
read and later it is being reassigned to a new value. The initialization
is redundant and hence can be removed.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused Value")
