NET: ipv6, remove unnecessary check
Stanse found a potential null dereference in snmp6_unregister_dev. There is a check for idev being NULL, but it is dereferenced earlier. But idev cannot be NULL when passed to snmp6_unregister_dev, so remove the test. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Cc: "David S.
