ppc-aix osabi sniffer: Turn test of bfd flavour into assertion
Due to the way this function is registers, we know that given bfd's flavour should always be bfd_target_xcoff_flavour, thus making the former test always true, which means that this function should always return GDB_OSABI_AIX, and never return GDB_OSABI_UNKNOWN. This patch also fixes a typo detected by Tom Tromey that caused the test itself to be completely ineffective. gdb/ChangeLog (by Tom Tromey and Joel Brobecker): * rs6000-aix-tdep.c (rs6000_aix_osabi_sniffer): Replace inneffective if condition by gdb assertion. Add function description comment.
