[PATCH 01/10] iommu/arm-smmu: Drop if with an always false condition

The remove and shutdown callback are only called after probe completed
successfully. In this case platform_set_drvdata() was called with a
non-NULL argument and so smmu is never NULL. Other functions in this
driver also don't check for smmu being non-NULL before using it.

Also note that returning an error code from a remove callback doesn't
result in the device staying bound. It's still removed and devm allocated
resources are freed (among others *smmu and the register mapping). So
after an early exit to iommu device stayed around and using it probably
oopses.
