[PATCH 05/23] drivers/bus: remove device and driver checks in plug

[David Marchand <david.marchand@redhat.com>]

The bus-specific device conversion macros all use container_of()
to convert from a generic rte_device pointer to a bus-specific
device structure.

A key property of container_of() is that it does NOT return NULL when
given a NULL pointer as input. Instead, it returns (NULL - offset),
which is a small non-NULL pointer value. This means NULL checks on
container_of() results cannot work as intended.

The device parameter passed to bus probe or plug operations cannot be NULL
as the caller already dereferenced the bus structure to invoke these
operations. Remove redundant NULL checks on the device parameter and
derived device pointers.

The driver reference in the bus-specific device cannot be NULL since
calling the .plug op is done after dereferencing this pointer.
