[PATCH V3 05/14] i3c: Make dev->desc locking assumptions explicit

i3c_device_get_info() takes the bus normal-use lock before accessing
dev->desc. Under that lock, the descriptor pointer is guaranteed to be
valid for the duration of the access.

Remove the unnecessary NULL check on dev->desc so the code more clearly
reflects the locking rules and expected descriptor lifetime.
