Bug 630094 - (cov#15454) Fix deadcode issue in mapping tree code
There is no chance for next_node to be anything other than NULL in
the final return statement due to the return in the "if (next_node)"
block immediately before the final return.
We can remove the return inside of the "if (next_node)" block since
the final return statement already deals with returning the proper
value if next_node is non-NULL.
