diff: remove ternary operator evaluating always to true

The line being changed is deep inside the function builtin_diff.
The variable name_b, which is used to evaluate the ternary expression
must evaluate to true at that position, hence the replacement with
just name_b.

The name_b variable only occurs a few times in that lengthy function:
As a parameter to the function itself:
	static void builtin_diff(const char *name_a,
				 const char *name_b,
				...
The next occurrences are at:
	/* Never use a non-valid filename anywhere if at all possible */
	name_a = DIFF_FILE_VALID(one) ? name_a : name_b;
	name_b = DIFF_FILE_VALID(two) ? name_b : name_a;

	a_one = quote_two(a_prefix, name_a + (*name_a == '/'));
	b_two = quote_two(b_prefix, name_b + (*name_b == '/'));

In the last line of this block 'name_b' is dereferenced and compared
to '/'. This would crash if name_b was NULL. Hence in the following code
we can assume name_b being non-null.

The next occurrence is just as a function argument, which doesn't change
the memory, which name_b points to, so the assumption name_b being not
null still holds:
	emit_rewrite_diff(name_a, name_b, one, two,
				textconv_one, textconv_two, o);

The next occurrence would be the line of this patch. As name_b still must
be not null, we can remove the ternary operator.

Inside the emit_rewrite_diff function there is a also a line
	ecbdata.ws_rule = whitespace_rule(name_b ? name_b : name_a);
which was also simplified as there is also a dereference before the
ternary operator.
