Subject: [PATCH v2 07/12] cxl: Remove dev_is_cxl_root_child() check in devm_cxl_enumerate_ports()

The dev_is_cxl_root_child() check adds complexity to the control flow
of the iterator loop in devm_cxl_enumerate_ports(). This check is
unnecessary and can safely be removed: If the port of a dport_dev is
connected to the cxl root port, the grandparent of dport_dev will be
null. This is checked early in the iterator loop and the function is
left in this case.

Drop this check to ease the control flow in devm_cxl_enumerate_
ports().

This change is a prerequisite of factoring out parts of the loop.
