Patch series "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()".

A couple straightforward cleanups to memfd_pin_folios() found through code
inspection.  Saves 124 bytes of kernel text overall and makes the code
more readable.


This patch (of 2):

Commit 89c1905d9c14 ("mm/gup: introduce memfd_pin_folios() for pinning
memfd folios") checks if filemap_get_folios_contig() returned duplicate
folios to prevent multiple attempts at pinning the same folio.

Commit 8ab1b1602396 ("mm: fix filemap_get_folios_contig returning batches
of identical folios") ensures that filemap_get_folios_contig() returns a
batch of distinct folios.

We can remove the duplicate folio check to simplify the code and save 58
bytes of text.
