This function is called in a test and in this file. The caller already
does this test and so the check is redundant plus a little confusing:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git/tree/tools/perf/util/synthetic-events.c?h=perf/core#n2062
As you say, it wasn't needed any more and so I removed it.

Thanks,
Ian
