Smatch reported that we dereference the data pointer to calculate the
expected length before we check it's not NULL. While this is true (and
hence needs to be fixed), this will never happen because the data
pointer comes from struct iwl_rx_packet object which has the following
layout:
struct iwl_rx_packet {
__le32 len_n_flags;
struct iwl_cmd_header hdr;
u8 data[];
} __packed;
So, if the pointer to iwl_rx_packet is valid, data will be valid as
well.
Remove the NULL pointer check on 'data' to avoid confusing smatch.
Also remove the check from similar functions in the same flow that were
cargo cult copy-pasted.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
