rtlwifi: Delete unnecessary checks before the function call « kfree_skb » 

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

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

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
