Colin Ian King 98c98cb770 block: clean up dead code that is now redundant
The boolean next_sorted is set to false and is never changed, hence
the code that checks if it is true is dead code and can now be
removed.  This dead code occurred from a previous commit that cleaned
up the elevator and removed the setting of next_sorted to true.

dead code")

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
