    FS-Cache: Remove unneeded null checks
    
    fscache_write_op() makes unnecessary checks of the page variable to see if it
    is NULL.  It can't be NULL at those points as the kernel would already have
    crashed a little higher up where we examined page->index.
    
    Furthermore, unless radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag() can return 1 but no page, a
    NULL pointer crash should not be encountered there as we can only get there if
    r_t_g_l_t() returned 1.
