ALSA: trident: Deletion of a check before snd_util_memhdr_free() 

Author: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>

The snd_util_memhdr_free() function tests whether its argument is NULL
and then returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
