Subject: [PATCH] net/tls: remove redundant second null check on sgout

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

A duplicated null check on sgout is redundant as it is known to be
already true because of the identical earlier check. Remove it.
Detected by cppcheck:

net/tls/tls_sw.c:696: (warning) Identical inner 'if' condition is always
true.
