context: drop a redundant fast path in introrev

Now that _adjustlinkrev fast path this case itself, we no longer need an extra
conditional.

A nice side effect is that we are no longer calling `self.rev()`. In case
where `_descendantrev` is set, calling `self.rev` will trigger a potentially
expensive `_adjustlinkrev` call. So blindly calling `self.rev()` to avoid
another `_adjustlinkrev` call can be counterproductive.

Note that `_descendantrev` is currently never taken into account in `introrev`
so far which is wrong. We'll fix that in changeset later in this series.

How to add fuzzers (partially cribbed from oss-fuzz[0]):

  1) git clone https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz
  2) cd oss-fuzz
  3) python infra/helper.py build_image mercurial
  4) docker run --cap-add=SYS_PTRACE -it -v $HG_REPO_PATH:/hg-new \
         gcr.io/oss-fuzz/mercurial bash
  5) cd /src
  6) rm -r mercurial
  7) ln -s /hg-new mercurial
  8) cd mercurial
  9) compile
  10) ls $OUT

Step 9 is literally running the command "compile", which is part of
the docker container. Once you have that working, you can build the
fuzzers like this (in the oss-fuzz repo):

python infra/helper.py build_fuzzers --sanitizer address mercurial $HG_REPO_PATH

(you can also say "memory", "undefined" or "coverage" for
sanitizer). Then run the built fuzzers like this:

python infra/helper.py run_fuzzer mercurial -- $FUZZER
