[PATCH] libnvdimm-btt: Delete an unnecessary check before the function call "__nd_device_register"

The __nd_device_register() 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.
