This is a cleanup and not a bugfix. container_of() does pointer math and the result of that math can basically not be NULL here so "se_dev" is non-NULL. Normally release() type functions accept a NULL parameter. I don't think target_core_dev_release() is ever called with a NULL parameter but it's a cleaner to allow that. So instead of checking "se_dev", I've changed it to check "item".
