patch removing first assignment

The value curpos in gst/matroska/matroska-read-common.c:2419 is set to gst_ebml_read_get_pos (ebml) and then immediately after set again to the same value. The first assignment being overwritten with the same value.

  guint64 curpos;

  curpos = gst_ebml_read_get_pos (ebml);

  /* Make sure we don't parse a tags element twice and
   * post it's tags twice */
  curpos = gst_ebml_read_get_pos (ebml);


This looks like a simple dead assignment problem. But want to confirm here in bugzilla since this code has been in gst-plugins-good since 2011, making me wonder if there is something hidden I am missing.

Either nobody has any complaints or people are too busy for reviews.

Won't bother peeps with this and will remove it from the Open queue.
