[PATCH] target/configfs: delete unnecessary checks for NULL

[PATCH] target/configfs: delete unnecessary checks for NULL

[Dan Carpenter]

The "item" pointer is always going to be valid pointer and does not
need to be checked.

But if "item" were NULL then item_to_lun() would not return a NULL, but
instead, the container_of() pointer math would return a value in the
error pointer range.  This confuses static checkers since it looks like
a NULL vs IS_ERR() bug.

Delete the bogus checks.

Applied to 5.16/scsi-fixes, thanks!
