[PATCH] mm: Remove redundant test from find_get_pages_contig

[Matthew Wilcox]

After we establish a reference on the page, we check the pointer continues
to be in the correct position in i_pages.  There's no need to check the
page->mapping or page->index afterwards; if those can change after we've
got the reference, they can change after we return the page to the caller.
