Richard Yao e6328fda2e Cleanup: !A || A && B is equivalent to !A || B
In zfs_zaccess_dataset_check(), we have the following subexpression:

(!IS_DEVVP(ZTOV(zp)) ||
    (IS_DEVVP(ZTOV(zp)) && (v4_mode & WRITE_MASK_ATTRS)))

When !IS_DEVVP(ZTOV(zp)) is false, IS_DEVVP(ZTOV(zp)) is true under the
law of the excluded middle since we are not doing pseudoboolean alegbra.
Therefore doing:

(IS_DEVVP(ZTOV(zp)) && (v4_mode & WRITE_MASK_ATTRS))

Is unnecessary and we can just do:

(v4_mode & WRITE_MASK_ATTRS)

The Linux 5.16.14 kernel's coccicheck caught this. The semantic
patch that caught it was:

./scripts/coccinelle/misc/excluded_middle.cocci
