[PATCH] drm/vmwgfx: remove bogus NULL check

The IS_ERR_OR_NULL() check in vmw_translate_mob_ptr() should just be
an IS_ERR() check.

The NULL check is confusing because vmw_user_bo_noref_lookup() can never
return NULL.  A NULL return here would only lead to bugs and crashing.
For example, Smatch complains that it would lead to an uninitialized
variable in the caller.

    drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_execbuf.c:1314 vmw_cmd_dx_bind_query()
    error: uninitialized symbol 'vmw_bo'.

So clean this code up and silence then static checker warnings by
removing the bogus NULL check.
