#23708: get_post_ancestors() no longer works inside loop

-----------------------------+--------------------------
 When upgrading from 3.3.1 to 3.5.1 we found that get_post_ancestors() no
 longer works inside the loop like it is suppose to.

 This issue stems from the addition line to the beginning of the function
 (lines 684-685 of /wp-includes/post.php)
 {{{
 if ( ! $post )
         return array();
 }}}

 I believe this to be a bug, I couldn't find anywhere that this
 functionality change was desired and breaks anything that relied on this.
 There was a recent change in Ticket #22882 but this was for a different
 issue related to this code. If this was an intentional change please tell
 me where this was that referenced so I better understand where to look in
 the future.

 The fix is just removing these 2 lines.
