From: Sang-Heon Jeon netdev_hold() does nothing if dev is NULL, so the check before the call is redundant. So remove it. No functional change. This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/free/ifnulldev_put.cocci after commit f83b8a58695c ("coccinelle: ifnulldev_put: update outdated helper names").
