[PATCH] USB: gadget: udc: s3c2410_udc: Remove pointless NULL check in s3c2410_udc_nuke

[Nathan Chancellor]

Clang warns:

drivers/usb/gadget/udc/s3c2410_udc.c:255:11: warning: comparison of
address of 'ep->queue' equal to a null pointer is always false
[-Wtautological-pointer-compare]
if (&ep->queue == NULL)
~~~~^~~~~ ~~~~
1 warning generated.

It is not wrong, queue is not a pointer so if ep is not NULL, the
address of queue cannot be NULL. No other driver does a check like this
and this check has been around since the driver was first introduced,
presumably with no issues so it does not seem like this check should be
something else. Just remove it.

Commit afe956c577b2d ("kbuild: Enable -Wtautological-compare") exposed
this but it is not the root cause of the warning.

Fixes: 3fc154b6b8134 ("USB Gadget driver for Samsung s3c2410 ARM SoC")

Thanks for the patch! If anything, I'd be happy to see some more NULL
checks against `ep`, though the callers of s3c2410_udc_nuke() also
seem quite confident that the pointer is not NULL.
