Subject: ubifs: Fix RENAME_WHITEOUT support

From: Felix Fietkau <[email protected]>

commit c3d9fda688742c06e89aa1f0f8fd943fc11468cb upstream.

Remove faulty leftover check in do_rename(), apparently introduced in a merge that combined whiteout support changes with commit f03b8ad8d386 ("fs: support RENAME_NOREPLACE for local filesystems")
