[PATCH v2 4/4] KVM: guest_memfd: Drop superfluous WRITE_ONCE() when binding a memslot

[Sean Christopherson]

Drop the superfluous WRITE_ONCE() when setting a memslot's guest_memfd file
during initial binding, as the memslot *must* be inactive and unreachable.
The superfluous WRITE_ONCE() was added by commit 67b43038ce14 ("KVM:
guest_memfd: Remove RCU-protected attribute from slot->gmem.file") to
maintain rough "parity" with the existing rcu_assign_pointer(), not
realizing that the only reason rcu_assign_pointer() was used was to make
sparse and other checkers happy.
