ipv6: Fix Smatch warning.
With commit d6ddef9e641d(IPv6: Fix not join all-router mcast group when forwarding set.) I check 'dev' after it's dereference that leads to a Smatch complaint: net/ipv6/addrconf.c:438 ipv6_add_dev() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'dev' (see line 432) net/ipv6/addrconf.c 431 /* protected by rtnl_lock */ 432 rcu_assign_pointer(dev->ip6_ptr, ndev); ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Old dereference. 433 434 /* Join all-node multicast group */ 435 ipv6_dev_mc_inc(dev, &in6addr_linklocal_allnodes); 436 437 /* Join all-router multicast group if forwarding is set */ 438 if (ndev->cnf.forwarding && dev && (dev->flags & IFF_MULTICAST)) ^^^ Remove the check to avoid the complaint as 'dev' can't be NULL.
