[PATCH] ipv6: remove useless assignment to newinet in tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock()

From: Nghia Le
Date: Thu Nov 04 2021 - 10:39:36 EST


The newinet value is initialized with inet_sk() in a block code to
handle sockets for the ETH_P_IP protocol. Along this code path,
newinet is never read. Thus, assignment to newinet is needless and
can be removed.
