Subject: net/mlx5e: Remove redundant check in get ethtool stats
Patch-mainline: v4.17-rc1
Git-commit: acac5ec0c2e77b79c7861db43d50640999d5d37b
References: bsc#1103990 FATE#326006

ethtool core code makes sure data isn't NULL before calling
get_ethtool_stats, testing it again in the driver is redundant.
