Subject: [RFC: 2.6 patch] nsp32_restart_autoscsi(): remove error check

The Coverity checker noted that we'll anyway Oops later when we ran into 
this condition - and the error check didn't prevent that.

Considering that the error condition shouldn't be possible, and we are 
not able to handle it easily, this patch simply removes the pointless 
error check.
