inode->i_op is never NULL

We used to have rather schizophrenic set of checks for NULL ->i_op even
though it had been eliminated years ago.  You'd need to go out of your
way to set it to NULL explicitly _and_ a bunch of code would die on
such inodes anyway.  After killing two remaining places that still
did that bogosity, all that crap can go away.
