metag: hugetlbpage: Remove null pointer checks that could never happen
There are inconsistent NULL checks in hugetlb_get_unmapped_area_existing(). The last conditional block in the loop checks vma, but vma is dereferenced after that. Due to the checks above however (bearing in mind after_huge is either 0 or 1) vma is guaranteed not to be NULL here, so remove that part of the check.
