[PATCH v2] x86/kaslr: Remove two redundant if checks

[Thorsten Blum <thorsten.blum@linux.dev>]

The loop in slots_fetch_random() either returns the slot address or
exits with i == slot_area_index, making the if check redundant. Drop it.

In choose_random_location(), the if (*output != random_addr) check used
to guard an add_identity_map() call. Commit 8570978ea030
("x86/boot/compressed/64: Don't pre-map memory in KASLR code") removed
that call and the check now only guards an assignment. Remove it.

No functional change.
