Hi,

It turns out that the "new" parameter to function gfs2_meta_indirect_buffer
was always being passed in as zero. Therefore, this patch eliminates it
and simplifies the function.

GFS2: Eliminate unused "new" parameter to gfs2_meta_indirect_buffer

The "new" parameter passed in to function gfs2_meta_indirect_buffer
was always passed in as zero. This patch eliminates it and removes
the branch that checked for a non-zero value.
