Subject: [PATCH] can: raw: 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:

./net/can/raw.c:497:2-9: 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=6231
