Dan Carpenter's static checker warned that in vxlan_stop we are checking if 'vs' can be NULL while later we simply derreference it. As after commit 56ef9c909b40 ("vxlan: Move socket initialization to within rtnl scope") 'vs' just cannot be NULL in vxlan_stop() anymore, as the interface won't go up if the socket initialization fails. So we are good to just remove the check and make it consistent.
