padata: get_next is never NULL
Per Dan's static checker warning, the code that returns NULL was removed in 2010, so this patch updates the comments and fixes the code assumptions. Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com> Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Acked-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
