Subject: [PATCH 9/9] staging: r8188eu: remove checks in dump_mgntframe

There's no need to check for bSurpriseRemoved and bDriverStopped in
dump_mgmtframe.

The sequence of function calls is

dump_mgntframe
   rtl8188eu_mgnt_xmit
      rtw_dump_xframe
         loop over all fragments

For each fragment, rtw_write_port is called. This function checks
bSurpriseRemoved and bDriverStopped.
