[PATCH] hwmon-ntc_thermistor: Delete an unnecessary check before the function call "iio_channel_release"

The iio_channel_release() function tests whether its argument is NULL
and then returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
