From: zhang songyi <zhang.songyi@xxxxxxxxxx> The call netdev_{put, hold} of dev_{put, hold} will check NULL, so there is no need to check before using dev_{put, hold}. Fix the following coccicheck warning: /drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/lag/lag.c:1450:2-10: WARNING: WARNING NULL check before dev_{put, hold} functions is not needed.
