[PATCH v2] fs/ext4: Remove unecessary deadstores

Just assigning the 'frame' variable to 'entries2' is sufficient, rather than to
'entries = entries2'. This also removes two other cases where variables are
assigned to values that are never read afterwards, making the code more legible
and efficient.
