[PATCH] remove unnecesary while loop in ext2_xattr_get

["crosslonelyover" <crosslonelyover@gmail.com>]

Hi,
     In ext2_xattr_get, we'll check the xattr entry one 
by one in the following loop:
         entry = FIRST_ENTRY(bh);
         while (!IS_LAST_ENTRY(entry)) {
                 struct ext2_xattr_entry *next                          EXT2_XATTR_NEXT(entry);
                 if ((char *)next >= end)
                         goto bad_block;
                 if (name_index = entry->e_name_index &&
                     name_len = entry->e_name_len &&
                     memcmp(name, entry->e_name, name_len) = 0)
                         goto found;
                 entry = next;
         }
We can only execute the code immediately following 
the loop when !IS_LAST_ENTRY(entry) is true. So the
followed while loop seems unnecessary. I think we can
remove it.
      Following is my patch. It's against 2.6.35-rc4.
Please check it.
