Subject: [PATCH 4.14 44/59] libnvdimm/btt: Remove unnecessary code in btt_freelist_init

From: Vishal Verma <vishal.l.verma@...el.com>

[ Upstream commit 2f8c9011151337d0bc106693f272f9bddbccfab2 ]

We call btt_log_read() twice, once to get the 'old' log entry, and again
to get the 'new' entry. However, we have no use for the 'old' entry, so
remove it.
