H A Dvhost-vdpa.c5107fd3e Mon Oct 31 08:29:01 CDT 2022 Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org> net/vhost-vdpa.c: Fix clang compilation failure

Commit 8801ccd0500437 introduced a compilation failure with clang
version 10.0.0-4ubuntu1:

../../net/vhost-vdpa.c:654:16: error: variable 'vdpa_device_fd' is
used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false
[-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
} else if (opts->has_vhostfd) {
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../../net/vhost-vdpa.c:662:33: note: uninitialized use occurs here
r = vhost_vdpa_get_features(vdpa_device_fd, &features, errp);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../../net/vhost-vdpa.c:654:12: note: remove the 'if' if its condition
is always true
} else if (opts->has_vhostfd) {
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../../net/vhost-vdpa.c:629:23: note: initialize the variable
'vdpa_device_fd' to silence this warning
int vdpa_device_fd;
^
= 0
1 error generated.

It's a false positive -- the compiler doesn't manage to figure out
that the error checks further up mean that there's no code path where
vdpa_device_fd isn't initialized. Put another way, the problem is
that we check "if (opts->has_vhostfd)" when in fact that condition
must always be true. A cleverer static analyser would probably warn
that we were checking an always-true condition.

Fix the compilation failure by removing the unnecessary if().
