Subject: scsi: lpfc: remove redundant null check on eqe
Patch-mainline: Queued in subsystem maintainer repository
Git-repo: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi.git
Git-commit: 858e51e8cbe11a8c59b24aaf4cb40f7f4e7a2feb
References: bsc#1050239, FATE#322918

The pointer eqe is always non-null inside the while loop, so the check
to see if eqe is NULL is redudant and hence can be removed.
