Cengiz Can fcdb84cc5b kdb: remove unnecessary null check of dbg_io_ops
`kdb_msg_write` operates on a global `struct kgdb_io *` called
`dbg_io_ops`.

It's initialized in `debug_core.c` and checked throughout the debug
flow.

There's a null check in `kdb_msg_write` which triggers static analyzers
and gives the (almost entirely wrong) impression that it can be null.

Coverity scanner caught this as CID 1465042.

I have removed the unnecessary null check and eliminated false-positive
forward null dereference warning.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
