PATCH: remove impossible case from gas/expr.c:expr


A static analysis tool that I ran over gas picked this up.  It is
impossible for op_left to be O_add in the switch (op_left), as it is
within the body of this if:

1762:  else if (resultP->X_op == O_constant && right.X_op == O_constant)

However, earlier, we have another if condition that handles the
possibility of an O_add operator and resultP->X_op being a constant:

1753:  else if (op_left == O_add && resultP->X_op == O_constant)

Anyone disagree? :-)

Cheers, Ben

        * expr.c (expr): Don't handle impossible case O_add when switching
        on op_left.
