Subject: Remove useless condition in late join

Remove useless condition in late join

In case of Threads.size() == 2 we have that sp->allSlavesSearching
is always false (because we have finished our search), bestSp is
always NULL and we never late join, so there is no need to special
case here.

Tested with dbg_hit_on(sp && sp->allSlavesSearching) and
verified it never fires.

No functional change.
