Subject: [patch 2.6.31 05/10] wimax/i2400m: remove redundant readiness checks from i2400m_report_tlv_*()

Functions i2400m_report_tlv*() are only called from
i2400m_report_hook(), called in a workqueue by
i2400m_report_hook_work(). The scheduler checks for device readiness
before scheduling.

Added an extra check for readiness in i2400m_report_hook_work(), which
makes all the checks down the line redundant.

Obviously the device state could change in the middle, but error
handling would take care of that.
