Subject: [PATCH net-next 08/10] ovpn: drop useless reg_state check in keepalive worker

The keepalive worker is cancelled before calling
unregister_netdevice_queue(), therefore it will never
hit a situation where the reg_state can be different
than NETDEV_REGISTERED.

For this reason, checking reg_state is useless and the
condition can be removed.
