[PATCH][next] drm/amdgpu: remove redundant assignment to pointer 'ring'

[Colin King]

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

The pointer 'ring' is being assigned a value that is never
read, hence the assignment is redundant and can be removed.

While we don't use ring here, I think the assignment is useful to
delineate that we are no longer working with the jpeg ring, but rather
the decode ring.  The mmUVD_RBC_RB_WPTR register is part of the decode
ring, not jpeg.  We would normally use the ring->wptr like we do for
the other rings, but in this particular case, the value happens to be
shadowed to a scratch register due to the way the dynamic power gating
works on that ring.
