[PATCH] mux: drop superfluous null check

[Josua Mayer]

The internal helper function mux_get may return NULL for non-existent
muxes, only if the optional argument is true. Otherwise ERR_PTR is
returned.

The public mux_control_get function is not allowed to return NULL, and
must return a valid ERR_PTR for non-existent muxes.

Since mux_control_get uses mux_get with optional set false, there is no
need to check for the impossible outcome NULL.

Drop the unnecessary NULL check.

Fixes: 993bcaf32c49 ("mux: Add helper functions for getting optional and selected mux-state")
