[PATCH 2/2] net/irda/ircomm: Drop unnecessary NULL test

[Julia Lawall]

From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>

The result of container_of should not be NULL.  In particular, in this case
the argument to the enclosing function has passed though INIT_WORK,
which dereferences it, implying that its container cannot be NULL.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression x,e;
@@

x = container_of(...)
... when != x = e
* x == NULL
// </smpl>
