Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: ppp: remove ppp->closing check

ppp->closing was used to test if an interface is closing down. But upon
.ndo_uninit() where ppp->closing is set to 1, dev_close() is already
called to bring down an interface and a synchronize_net() guarantees
that no pending TX/RX can take place, so the check is unnecessary.
Remove the check.
