[PATCH 06/14] staging: gasket: remove unnecessary NULL checks on calls from VFS

[Todd Poynor]

From: Todd Poynor <toddpoynor@xxxxxxxxxx>

Remove unneeded checks for NULL pointers in struct file pointers passed
from the VFS layer or the private_data that must have been properly set
at file open time.
