net: stmmac: dwmac-qcom-ethqos: Drop an if with an always false condition

Browse source

The remove callback is only ever called after .probe() returned
successfully. After that get_stmmac_bsp_priv() always return non-NULL.

Side note: The early exit would also be a bug because the return value
of qcom_ethqos_remove() is ignored by the device core and the device is
unbound unconditionally. So exiting early resulted in a dangerous
resource leak as all devm allocated resources (some memory and the
register mappings) are freed but the network device stays around.  Using
the network device afterwards probably oopses.
