vcs: remove non-sensical conditional block
__get_action can only return "pull" or "push"; any other value is an
error on our end. And indeed, if not, the old code would crash further
down in the function (under "CHECK LOCKING") because the "user" local
variable was not assigned.
This also corrects the comment that incorrectly suggests the perm check
is only relevant for anonymous access.
The relevant code is duplicated between Hg and Git... and thus also
this change.
(Diff becomes clearer if whitespace changes are ignored.)

==================
Repository locking
==================
Kallithea has a *repository locking* feature, disabled by default. When
enabled, every initial clone and every pull gives users (with write permission)
the exclusive right to do a push.
When repository locking is enabled, repositories get a ``locked`` flag.
The hg/git commands ``hg/git clone``, ``hg/git pull``,
and ``hg/git push`` influence this state:
- A ``clone`` or ``pull`` action locks the target repository
if the user has write/admin permissions on this repository.
- Kallithea will remember the user who locked the repository so only this
specific user can unlock the repo by performing a ``push``
command.
- Every other command on a locked repository from this user and every command
from any other user will result in an HTTP return code 423 (Locked).
Additionally, the HTTP error will mention the user that locked the repository
(e.g., “repository <repo> locked by user <user>”).
Each repository can be manually unlocked by an administrator from the
repository settings menu.
