Summary

and remove a now-redundant assert preceding a GetBlockHash() caller.

This protects against UB here, and in case of failure (which would

bitcoind: blockindex.h:148: BlockHash CBlockIndex::GetBlockHash() const: Assertion `phashBlock != nullptr' failed.
Aborted

instead of

Segmentation fault
