[PATCH 1/1] iommu: to avoid an unnecessary assignment

[Zhen Lei]

Move the assignment statement into if branch above, where it only
needs to be.

Strictly, it was done here because I like following transactional
idioms, i.e. at any point dev->fwspec is either the old one or the
fully-initialised new one. However, since the state of the new one
immediately after realloc isn't uninitialised, but still directly
equivalent to the old one, I don't see an issue with moving the
assignemnt there, plus it does avoid a redundant reassignment the first
time through.

Applied, thanks.
