RDMA/bnxt_re: Remove always true dattr validity check
[ Upstream commit eb867d797d294a00a092b5027d08439da68940b2 ]
res->dattr is always valid at this point as it was initialized
during device addition in bnxt_re_add_device().
This change is fixing the following smatch error:
drivers/infiniband/hw/bnxt_re/qplib_fp.c:1090 bnxt_qplib_create_qp()
error: we previously assumed 'res->dattr' could be null (see line 985)
Fixes: 07f830ae4913 ("RDMA/bnxt_re: Adds MSN table capability for Gen P7 adapters")
