Fixes: commit c04fecb4d9f7 ("dlm: use rsbtbl as resource directory")
Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@...gle.com>

I can't help but wonder what this logic originally intended, but this
was introduced back in 2012, so guessing no one cares/remembers/hits
related issues.

The condition above is
149         if (result == DLM_LU_MATCH &&
150             nodeid != memb->nodeid) {

which looks like the condition you removed could have been folded into
that originally:

if (result == DLM_LU_MATCH) {
  if (nodeid == memb->nodeid)
    ++count_match;
  else {
    ...
