Subject: [PATCH][V2] net: hns3: remove redundant initialization of pointer 'client'

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

The pointer 'client' is being initialized with a value that is never
read, it is being updated later on. The initialization is redundant
and can be removed.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
