[PATCH 1/2] nvme-core: remove redundant condition in nvme_ns_head_multipath

[Irvin Cote]

head->disk implies IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NVME_MULTIPATH) (c.f
nvme_mpath_alloc_disk) hence the condition is redundant.

Might not matter for this case, but this changes something that'd
compile away for !CONFIG_NVME_MULTIPATH to now needing to read
disk->head instead. That doesn't seem like a good change.

Exactly.  That's the reason why this helper and check exist.

[PATCH 2/2] nvme-core: use nvme_ns_head_multipath instead of ns->head->disk

[Irvin Cote]

Change the way we check for a multipath nshead so as
to consistently use the same check to assert the same condition.

Thanks, applied to nvme-6.5, skipping patch 1/2.
