mm/filemap.c: remove redundant test from find_get_pages_contig
After we establish a reference on the page, we check the pointer continues to be in the correct position in i_pages. Checking page->index afterwards is unnecessary; if it were to change, then the pointer to it from the page cache would also move. The check used to be done before grabbing a reference on the page which was racy (see commit 9cbb4cb2 ("mm: find_get_pages_contig fixlet")), but nobody noticed that moving the check after grabbing the reference was redundant.
