Subject: [PATCH] fs/ntfs: remove redundant assignment to pointer m

The pointer m is being assigned a value that is never read, it
is being re-assigned to a NULL later on. The assignment is
redundant and can be removed.

Cleans up clang scan build warning:
fs/ntfs/file.c:194:3: warning: Value stored to 'm' is never
read [deadcode.DeadStores]
