[PATCH] staging: rtl8192u: remove the if condition without effect

[Saurav Girepunje]

In function rtl8192_adapter_start priv->pFirmware->firmware_status
is assign to FW_STATUS_0_INIT just after assignment variable is
again get check for same value. Therefore if condition will be
always be true. So remove the if condition ,else if section and
else section which will never get execute.

read_nic_dword function call also does not update value of priv->pFirmware->firmware_status.
read_nic_dword return a value that never check by any caller function.
That can cover on another patch.
