fs/dlm: Drop unnecessary null test

hlist_for_each_entry binds its first argument to a non-null value, and thus
any null test on the value of that argument is superfluous.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

iterator I;
expression x,E,E1,E2;
statement S,S1,S2;

I(x,...) { <...
- (x != NULL) &&
  E
  ...> }
