The 'if (!key && hash_location)' check in tcp_inbound_md5_hash() implies
that hash_location might be null. However, later code in the function
dereferences hash_location anyway, without checking for null first.
Fortunately, there is no real bug, since tcp_inbound_md5_hash() is
called only with non-null values of hash_location.
Therefore, remove the unnecessary and misleading null check of
hash_location. This silences a Smatch static checker warning
(https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/aPi4b6aWBbBR52P1@stanley.mountain/)
Also fix the related comment at the beginning of the function.
