[PATCH] staging: vme_user: drop dead NULL checks inside list_for_each_entry()

[Stepan Ionichev <sozdayvek@gmail.com>]

list_for_each_entry() walks list entries via container_of() on the
list head pointer; the iterator is never NULL during iteration. The
"if (!iter)" branches inside vme_slave_request(), vme_master_request(),
vme_dma_request() and vme_lm_request() are therefore unreachable.

smatch flags the inconsistency:

  drivers/staging/vme_user/vme.c:266 vme_slave_request() error: we
    previously assumed slave_image could be null (see line 267)
  drivers/staging/vme_user/vme.c:460 vme_master_request() error: we
    previously assumed master_image could be null (see line 461)
  drivers/staging/vme_user/vme.c:834 vme_dma_request() error: we
    previously assumed dma_ctrlr could be null (see line 835)
  drivers/staging/vme_user/vme.c:1439 vme_lm_request() error: we
    previously assumed lm could be null (see line 1440)

Drop the dead checks.

No functional change.
