Subject: [PATCH -next] RDMA/cma: Remove NULL check before dev_{put, hold}

The call netdev_{put, hold} of dev_{put, hold} will check NULL,
so there is no need to check before using dev_{put, hold},
remove it to silence the warning:

./drivers/infiniband/core/cma.c:4812:2-9: WARNING: NULL check before dev_{put, hold} functions is not needed.

Reported-by: Abaci Robot <abaci@...ux.alibaba.com>
Closes: https://bugzilla.openanolis.cn/show_bug.cgi?id=5521
