[lvc-project] [PATCH] smb: client: Remove redundant check in smb2_is_path_accessible()

There is an unnecessary NULL check of cifs_sb in smb2_is_path_accessible(),
since cifs_sb is dereferenced multiple times prior to it.

It seems that there is no need to introduce any NULL checks of cifs_sb, 
since arguments of smb2_is_path_accessible() are assumed to be non-NULL.

Therefore, this redundant check can be removed.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
