By enabling -Wunreachable-code-aggressive on Clang the following code
paths are unreachable.

This has been present since commit ac27a0ec112a ("[PATCH] ext4: initial
copy of files from ext3") and fs/ext3 had it present at the beginning of
git history. It has not been changed since.

Clang warns:

fs/ext4/namei.c:831:17: warning: code will never be executed
[-Wunreachable-code]
                        unsigned n = count - 1;
                                     ^~~~~
fs/ext4/namei.c:830:7: note: silence by adding parentheses to mark code as
explicitly dead
                if (0) { // linear search cross check
                    ^
                    /* DISABLES CODE */ ( )
