Subject: [PATCH] mm/damon: remove dead code in damon_lru_sort_enabled_store()

From: Zeng Jingxiang <linuszeng@...cent.com>

The variable damon_lru_sort_initialized is always true, causing the
corresponding conditional expression cannot be executed.

Assigning true to damon_lru_sort_initialized here
544         damon_lru_sort_initialized = true;

The value of damon_lru_sort_initialized is always true.
As a result, the following expression cannot be executed.

463         if (!damon_lru_sort_initialized)
464                 return rc;

Fixes: 40e983cca927 ("mm/damon: introduce DAMON-based LRU-lists Sorting")
