mm: thp: remove redundant pgtable check in set_huge_zero_page()

Browse source

When the pgtable is NULL in the set_huge_zero_page(), we should not
increment the count of PTE page table pages by calling mm_inc_nr_ptes(). 
Otherwise we may receive the following warning when the mm exits:

	BUG: non-zero pgtables_bytes on freeing mm

Now we can't observe the above warning since only
do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page() invokes set_huge_zero_page() and the pgtable
can not be NULL.

Therefore, instead of moving mm_inc_nr_ptes() to the non-NULL branch of
pgtable, it is better to remove the redundant pgtable check directly.
