get rid of dead code in legitimize_root()
Combination of LOOKUP_IS_SCOPED and NULL nd->root.mnt is impossible after successful path_init(). All places where ->root.mnt might become NULL do that only if LOOKUP_IS_SCOPED is not there and path_init() itself can return success without setting nd->root only if ND_ROOT_PRESET had been set (in which case nd->root had been set by caller and never changed) or if the name had been a relative one *and* none of the bits in LOOKUP_IS_SCOPED had been present. Since all calls of legitimize_root() must be downstream of successful path_init(), the check for !nd->root.mnt && (nd->flags & LOOKUP_IS_SCOPED) is pure paranoia. FWIW, it had been discussed (and agreed upon) with Aleksa back when scoped lookups had been merged; looks like that had fallen through the cracks back then.
