v1.7.9-8-g270a344 (config: stop using config_exclusive_filename) replaced
config_exclusive_filename with given_config_file.  In one case this
resulted in a self-assignment, which is reported by clang as a warning.
Remove the useless code.

Thanks. I remember refactoring that part of the conditional several
times while figuring out the right ordering of my refactoring patches,
but obviously I missed removing the stale code on the final
pass-through.
