Subject: [PATCH] cifs: remove useless cargo-cult checks

file->f_path.dentry or file->f_path.dentry.d_inode can't be NULL since at
least ten years, similar for all but very few arguments passed in from
the VFS.

Btw, it would be nice if all CIFS updates could be Cc'ed to lkml to
fix things like this or the horrible codingstyle before it hits the
tree.
