[patch] V4L/DVB: tm6000: remove unneeded NULL check

We're testing the wrong variable here, and anyway list_entry() never
returns NULL.  We already verified that the list is not empty.

This was added by: 721f507b694f "V4L/DVB (12842): tm6000: avoid kernel
panic while retrieving the filling buffer"

It could be that this is really trying to check if it's the last item in
the list?  In that case the fix is more complicated.
