[PATCH net-next 2/4] net: hdlc_fr: Change the use of "dev" in fr_fx to make the code cleaner

[Xie He]

The eth_type_trans function is called when we receive frames carrying
Ethernet frames. This function expects a non-NULL pointer as a argument,
and assigns it directly to skb->dev.

However, the code handling other types of frames first assigns a pointer
to "dev", and then at the end checks whether the value is NULL, and if it
is not NULL, assigns it to skb->dev.

The two flows are different. Letting them co-exist in this function makes
the code messy. It's better that we convert the second flow to align with
how eth_type_trans does things.

So this patch changes the code to: first make sure the pointer is not
NULL, then assign it directly to skb->dev. "dev" is no longer needed until
the end where we use it to update stats.
