[PATCH] floppy: Remove redundant assignment to nr_sectors

[PATCH] floppy: Remove redundant assignment to nr_sectors

[Jiapeng Chong]

Variable nr_sectors is set to zero but this value is never
read as it is overwritten later on, hence it is a redundant
assignment and can be removed.

Clean up the following clang-analyzer warning:

drivers/block/floppy.c:2333:2: warning: Value stored to 'nr_sectors' is
never read [clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores].

Looks good, applied.
https://github.com/evdenis/linux-floppy/commit/a2d3f991fb51beb1376fb257a316e9b9e3c99737

I slightly changed the title. I guess this will go with other cleanup patches
to 5.14 release. Jens already merged 5.13 patches to master.

Thanks,
Denis
