This patch to the Go frontend removes some erroneous code that was
never run.  The code accidentally called Type::type_descriptor rather
than the do_type_descriptor method.  Calling Type::type_descriptor
with a second argument of NULL would always crash.  Since that never
happened, it revealed that this code was never actually executed.
Removing this code fixes GCC PR 95970, in which a new warning triggers
for the now-removed code.  Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.  Committed to mainline.
