Subject: [PATCH] ipvlan: 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/net/ipvlan/ipvlan_core.c:559:3-11: WARNING: NULL check before dev_{put, hold} functions is not needed.
