[ofa-general] [PATCH/RFC] RDMA/nes: Remove redundant NULL check in nes_unregister_ofa_device()

nes_unregister_ofa_device() dereferences the nesibdev pointer before
testing if it's NULL.  Also, the test is doubly redundant because the
only caller of nes_unregister_ofa_device() is nes_destroy_ofa_device(),
which already tests if nesibdev is NULL.  Remove the unnecessary test.

This was spotted by the Coverity checker (CID 2190).
