ext4: remove unmeetable inconsisteny check from ext4_find_extent()

ext4_find_extent(), stripped down to the parts relevant to this patch,
reads as

  ppos = 0;
  i = depth;
  while (i) {
    --i;
    ++ppos;
    if (unlikely(ppos > depth)) {
      ...
      ret = -EFSCORRUPTED;
      goto err;
    }
  }

Due to the loop's bounds, the condition ppos > depth can never be met.

Remove this dead code.
