Subject: [net 10/15] ice: Remove possible null dereference

From: Tony Nguyen <anthony.l.nguyen@...el.com>

Commit 1f45ebe0d8fb ("ice: add extra check for null Rx descriptor") moved
the call to ice_construct_skb() under a null check as Coverity reported a
possible use of null skb. However, the original call was not deleted, do so
now.
