Subject: [PATCH net-next 15/15] ice: remove dead code

From: Bruce Allan <bruce.w.allan@...el.com>

The check for a NULL pf pointer is moot since the earlier declaration and
assignment of struct device *dev already de-referenced the pointer.  Also,
the only caller of ice_set_dflt_mib() already ensures pf is not NULL.
