Remove pointless HeapTupleHeaderIndicatesMovedPartitions calls

Pavan Deolasee recently noted that a few of the
HeapTupleHeaderIndicatesMovedPartitions calls added by commit
5db6df0c0117 are useless, since they are done after comparing t_self
with t_ctid. But because t_self can never be set to the magical values
that indicate that the tuple moved partition, this can never succeed: if
the first test fails (so we know t_self equals t_ctid), necessarily the
second test will also fail.

So these checks can be removed and no harm is done.
