[PATCH] x25: remove redundant pointer dev

From: Colin Ian King
Date: Sun May 08 2022 - 17:45:45 EST


Pointer dev is being assigned a value that is never used, the assignment
and the variable are redundant and can be removed. Also replace null check
with the preferred !ptr idiom.

Cleans up clang scan warning:
net/x25/x25_proc.c:94:26: warning: Although the value stored to 'dev' is
used in the enclosing expression, the value is never actually read
from 'dev' [deadcode.DeadStores]
