[PATCH] fs/cachefiles: Drop superfluous readpages aops NULL check

From: Takashi Iwai
Date: Thu Aug 27 2020 - 10:32:41 EST


After the recent actions to convert readpages aops to readahead, the
NULL checks of readpages aops in cachefiles_read_or_alloc_page() may
hit falsely. More badly, it's an ASSERT() call, and this panics.

Drop the superfluous NULL checks for fixing this regression.
