Subject: ethtool: linkinfo: remove an unnecessary NULL check
Patch-mainline: v5.8-rc1
Git-commit: 178f67b1288b6952117fdc4e5ffbd4c4bd4e4a7f
References: bsc#1176447

This code generates a Smatch warning:

    net/ethtool/linkinfo.c:143 ethnl_set_linkinfo()
    warn: variable dereferenced before check 'info' (see line 119)

Fortunately, the "info" pointer is never NULL so the check can be
removed.
