[PATCH] media: cx24117: remove dead code in always 'false' if statement

[Andi Shyti]

At this point of the execution in the function cx24117_attach()
demod cannot be '0'. In that case the function returns earlier
with an error value ('NULL'). Remove the if statement.

This error has been reported by scan.coverity.com
