Subject: [PATCH] fs/ntfs: drop unneeded assignment in ntfs_perform_write()

It is not required to initialize the local variable idx in
ntfs_perform_write(), the value is never actually read from
it.

make clang-analyzer on x86_64 allyesconfig reports:

fs/ntfs/file.c:1781:15: warning: Although the value stored to 'idx' is
used in the enclosing expression, the value is never actually read from
'idx'

Simplify the code and remove unneeded assignment to make clang-analyzer
happy.
